Pope Elementary School welcomes all visitors. For the safety of all students and building security, visitors must always enter through the front entrance and stop in the office to sign in and get a visitors badge. The visitor’s badge must be worn at all times while you are in the building. Please sign out and return your badge prior to leaving the building. As a courtesy to the teacher, it is suggested that notification be made for all classroom visitations. Contacting the teacher by note or telephone is recommended. If it is not possible to contact the teacher before or after school hours, please leave a message with office staff to have the teacher contact you. Classroom visitations are not a time for teacher-parent conferences, because the regular school program must continue during the visit. If you need to speak with a teacher, we suggest you schedule an additional conference at a mutually convenient time.
