Lakeview Middle wins Red Carpet
An initiative of the South Carolina Department of Education
A Red Carpet School does an outstanding job of creating a family-friendly school environment and providing excellent customer service, according to the State Department of Education.
The Red Carpet Schools initiative was one of only two programs in the nation to receive a Distinguished Single Project Award from the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) in 2003. The program has also been featured in NSPRA's monthly newsletter as well as the monthly newsletter of the National Elementary Principals Association.
Applicants prepare a written application that details their family-friendly philosophies and environments, along with the methods used to self-evaluate those efforts. They are also required to include copies of their schools' communication plans.
Schools that pass the written application phase are then screened by independent judges who rate how telephone callers and visitors to the school are treated. Judges do not identify themselves during telephone calls or site visits, and site visits are not announced in advance.
Schools are judged on a variety of factors, including the exterior and interior appearance of the campus, the way people were treated in person and over the telephone, and the information and programs available for families and visitors. Specific items that judges evaluate on their site visits include:
Outside
Clearly marked visitor parking spaces near the front door.
Well-kept grounds that are free of debris and trash.
Plainly marked entrances, particularly the main entrance door.
Front entrance/lobby
Clean and appealing lobby/front entrance.
Welcome to our school" signs that clearly direct visitors to the main office.
Attractive, colorful displays of student achievement and school events.
Office
Clean and tidy front office.
Reading material about the school available for visitors.
Welcoming and professionally dressed staff who greet visitors promptly and quickly ask to offer assistance.
Visitor badges available.
Telephone
Telephones that are answered promptly (within three rings) and professionally.
Person answering the phone has basic, up-to-date information readily accessible.
Callers are put through to appropriate parties promptly.
