NEW Visitor Check-in System - Raptor Safe App Setup

Cardinal Forest ES has a NEW Visitor Check-in System beginning this week. Downloading and registering on the Raptor Safe App is not required, you can still use your driver’s license in the building, but this is faster.

What is Raptor Safe?

Raptor Safe is a free mobile app designed to make school visits and student dismissals both faster and more secure. By using the app, you can create a Raptor Passport, which allows you to check in at the school entrance by simply scanning a QR code. A new QR code is generated each time so no screenshots.

A few notes for registration in the app: no code is needed so skip that step and foreign id's and passports can be used (as long as they are in English).

Setting Up Your Account

Getting started is straightforward. Here is the play-by-play:

Download: Search for "Raptor Safe" in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Verification: To keep the community safe, the app will ask you to scan your driver’s license and take a live selfie to verify your identity.
Privacy: Don't worry about that selfie—it is used only for the initial verification and is not stored in the app.
Stored Info: The app only keeps necessary details like your name, date of birth, the photo from your ID, and the last four digits of your license or passport.

Quick Tips for Users

No Passwords to Memorize: The app uses your mobile phone number to log you in. You’ll receive a one-time code via text each time you need to access your account.
Need Help?: If you run into any technical snags, you can find troubleshooting guides at raptortech.com/raptorsafe-app/.
