Visitor Policy


It is the policy of the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe School that it is classified as a private school. For the safety of our students we will enforce security measures appropriately. For the protection of our students, all visitors must check in at an administrative office for a VISITOR PASS and are subject to a background check pursuant to 14 LCOTCL § 7.406 as well as the Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act, P.L. 101-630. Persons with no legitimate purpose for being on school property during regular school hours and who have not checked in at an administrative office will be trespassing and may be referred to law enforcement agencies or be prosecuted under criminal trespass laws.  Any visitor who wishes to attend classes with an enrolled student must request to visit with administration at least 72 hours in advance. Suspended or expelled students may not attend any school-sponsored activity without administrative approval.
