Children may not attend school as visitors except on a short-term basis and only with the prearranged permission of the building principal to insure that instruction is not interrupted.
Classroom visits by school officials on school business such as school accreditation visits and state or federal audits should be arranged through the principal. Teachers and, as appropriate, students should be informed about the purposes of such visitations.
Teachers, working with principals, are encouraged to invite parents, guardians, and patrons to visit the classroom for special occasions such as performances, plays, end-of-unit activities, and other circumstances where having the visitor(s) in the classroom contributes to the learning process.
The principal is authorized to grant pre-arranged permission for parents, guardians, patrons, or students to make short-term classroom visits, only when in their judgment, the learning environment previously established in the classroom will be maintained at its customary level (i.e., not be interrupted) during the visitation.
