Student ID Badges
Badges will be used at all campuses district wide and students are required to wear them every day throughout the school day.
- ID badges can be used to check out library books, scan for lunches, and are required for students to scan onto and off of buses (before/after school, field trips, athletic events).
- Students will receive a new ID card each school year. While every student's first ID card is provided at no cost, the district will maintain the policy of a $5 replacement fee to be charged for any damaged or lost cards.
- If your child has lost their badge, they can bring $5 cash to the front office, or you can click the online payment button below to cover the $5 replacement fee.
- Students are permitted to bring their own lanyard if they choose. Lanyards must adhere to dress code standards.
Thank you and we appreciate your assistance in helping your child keep track of their badge!

Please join PTA to support our school!
