GoGuardian Launches K-12 Visitor Management Software

The new platform screens campus guests using existing school tablets and computers without requiring proprietary kiosks.

GoGuardian has expanded into physical school security with the release of GoGuardian Visitor, a software platform designed to screen and track guests on K-12 campuses.

The system checks visitors against sex offender registries and custom school watchlists before granting building access. Rather than requiring dedicated kiosks, the software runs on school-owned Chromebooks, iPads and Windows devices alongside standard badge printers.

Staff can configure the platform for self-service or assisted check-ins using ID scanning, photo capture and multi-language translation. The system also integrates with GoGuardian Hall Pass to generate digital student passes automatically during late arrivals or early pickups, combining visitor and student tracking on one dashboard.

Districts retain ownership of their visitor logs and control what information is stored. The software generates daily and weekly reports and uses artificial intelligence to flag unusual check-in patterns or search visitor histories via plain-English queries.

The platform is licensed at a flat annual rate per school site with no limit on the number of check-in stations.
