Implement Student Identification for Safer Schools

Do you know if your kids are safe at school? Schools today are taking security more seriously than ever, and student identification card programs have become a growing trend to keep schools and their students safe. A student identification card program outfits each student with an ID card or badge that must be worn everyday at school.

Student identification cards are a simple and effective security solution because they provide instant visual identification of each student and a quick way to determine if a student belongs in the building. Student identification cards are especially helpful at the beginning of the school year when the student’s picture and name are visible to help teachers and staff learn names quickly.

Using student identification cards can be simple, and its benefits will make everyone in the school district happy. To start a program that meets your school’s needs, follow these guidelines:

1. Find the identification system that’s right for you. Identification systems allow you to take control of identification by designing and printing your own cards onsite. To find the system that’s right for you, use a user-friendly system selection guide like the IDville System Information Guide.

2. Make user-friendly software a priority. Equally important to the system you select is the software you use to create student identification cards. The individual who uses the identification software in a school is often an administrative assistant or staff member. View a demo or tutorial of the software before buying to make sure it will be easy for this person to use.

3. Have fun with identification! Student identification cards are an important part to a security program, but they can also be fun for students. Promote school spirit by customizing your identification cards with the school mascot and outfitting students with custom lanyards. Make students excited about their student identification, and your program is bound to be a success.

These kid-friendly lanyards make it safer to identify kids with wearable identification. The lanyards are a safe 25” length for kids and can be customized with the same color, font and attachment options as the regular length lanyards. Kids will love wearing these lanyards designed just for them!
