How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visitation at Charles H. Hickey, Jr. School runs seven days a week, but you'll need to give the Facility Case Manager at least 24-hour notice. Both in-person and virtual options are available. Timing matters: visits can't overlap with the youth's school hours or meal times. Since students in DJS residential programs attend school several hours each weekday year-round, plan around the school day. Once the facility's limited-visitation period ends, "significant persons" identified by the youth—supportive people beyond immediate family—may be approved to visit. Before you go, confirm scheduling steps and visitor requirements with the Case Manager. Ask about the approved visitor list, photo ID expectations, security screening, and whether a virtual visit works for your situation.
