Student ID Badges School Safety

Chesapeake Public Schools is expanding the Student ID Badge program to include 7th and 8th-grade students. This expansion will enhance safety and efficiency within our school community. We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring your child wears their ID badge daily.

 Here are the details on what that will look like for our school!

Timeline of Distribution

Our 7th and 8th-grade students will receive their student ID badges during homeroom on Monday, March 10.

About the Student ID Badge & Lanyard

  • Each student will receive their first ID badge and lanyard at no charge.

  • For security purposes, each student will be issued only one badge.

  • Your student can change the lanyard. If you choose to use your own lanyard, please ensure you meet the following minimum requirements: 

    • Breakaway Feature: All lanyards must have a breakaway clasp or connector. This safety feature allows the lanyard to detach if pulled, preventing potential choking or injury.

    • Appropriate Images/Text: Lanyards must display school-appropriate images or text. Lanyards that are deemed inappropriate will need to be replaced by an approved lanyard.

      • Images and text should be free of: Profanity or offensive language, Violence or depictions of weapons, Drug, alcohol, or tobacco references, Imagery or language that promotes discrimination or hate speech, 

      • School-approved logos, team mascots, or positive messages are encouraged!
