Learn the sign-in process here.  We are pleased to announce a New Visitor Management System called “Raptor”, which we began using on December 1, 2022.  The safety of our ZCS Family is our highest priority. Because of the more efficient and thorough screening process for visitors, contractors, and volunteers, this new system allows us to create an even safer environment for our students and staff. In addition to strengthening our campus safety, the signin process for visitors is streamlined and much more user-friendly. Please bring your state issued ID/Drivers License to facilitate efficient sign-in.
