Attention Glades Region

We are gearing up for another history-making school year!

🎒 STUDENT ID BADGES ARE REQUIRED! 🎒
To help maintain a safe, secure, and efficient learning environment, all students (Pre-K through 12th grade) are required to wear their current School District-issued ID badge and keep it visible while on School District property.

Why are ID badges important?
✅ Help keep our schools safe and secure
✅ Identify students quickly and accurately
✅ Check out library books
✅ Access on-campus meals
✅ Attend school events (when required)
✅ Ride District transportation (when required)

Student Responsibilities
✔️ Wear your ID badge every day and display it as directed by your school.
✔️ Present your ID badge when requested by any School District staff member.
✔️ Report a lost ID badge immediately.
✔️ Never loan your ID badge to another student.
✔️ Do not alter, damage, or misuse your ID badge.
✔️ Return your ID badge when you graduate or withdraw from the District.

⚠️ Important Reminder: Misuse of an ID badge or refusing to display it may result in disciplinary action in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct.

🚨 Students who do not have their ID badge may be denied certain services if staff cannot verify their student status.

Thank you for helping us keep our schools safe, secure, and ready for learning every day.
