Parents: This is just a reminder that all students are required to wear their student id badge every day. Their id badge must be worn so it is visible at all times. Students without an id can get a new id before entering the school for a $5 replacement fee. If students go to their first period without their id, there will be a replacement id made for a $5 fee. After their third classroom replacement id, students will receive a work detail.
Please help your child to remember to wear their student id at all times.
