Student IDs

Students will be allowed "one" temporary ID, and it is good for 24 hours. After the one temporary ID is issued, students will need to purchase a replacement, and it will be reported to their administrator for a consequence.


Temporary IDs should be returned to the Bridge East front office. If you still cannot find your ID, please go to the Bridge East Front Office for a replacement.


  • Lost your ID - Follow these steps for a replacement:
  • Step 1: Request a replacement - cost is $10
    Step 2: Pay for the ID through OSP or pay cash at the Bridge East Front Office
    Students can pick up their replacement ID in the Bridge East Office.

Be the B.R.I.D.G.E

We are always looking for ways to build culture at CHS, and this year, we want to more frequently recognize students and staff who epitomize Be the B.R.I.D.G.E. We would like to reward these students and staff for their continuous hard work through donated gift cards. So, we are asking if your family can pitch in a small gift card between 5-20 dollars; we could really make a few students’ and teachers’ day. Have your student bring gift cards of small denominations to the Bridge East Front Office.


Starbucks, Target, Amazon, Publix, Dunkin Donuts, and local restaurants are all surefire ways to make someone’s day but feel free to clean out that kitchen catch-all drawer.
