Prince William County Public Schools

Visitor Information

When visiting a Prince William County Public School or facility, all visitors, including parents, community members, volunteers, and school division employees not regularly assigned to the facility, must report to the main office/entrance, provide valid government-issued identification, and state the purpose of their visit.

Identification Requirements

Acceptable forms of identification include:

• U.S. or foreign driver's license
• U.S. or foreign government identification
• Military identification
• Department of Motor Vehicles' photo identification
• Passport
• Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)
• Re-entry permit
• Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (ISAP) identification

All visitors must wear their identification badge visibly. Upon completing their visit, they must return the badge and collect their photo ID before leaving. Each facility has procedures to inform visitors and staff about the badge requirement.

Law enforcement officers and other emergency service providers (e.g., firefighters, EMS), when in uniform and/or are prominently displaying their badge of authority, are not required to obtain a visitor's badge or surrender an ID, as their identity is clear. Law enforcement officers and other emergency service providers must sign in on the "Visitor Sign-In Log," except in emergency situations.

Please view Regulation 926-1, "Visitor Identification" for additional questions regarding visitor identification requirements.
