Beginning OCS students will leave their ID badge in their homeroom at the end of each school day, placing it in their cell phone locker when they retrieve their phone, if applicable.  Each morning during homeroom, students will retrieve their ID badge from the cell phone locker and place their phone in the locker, if applicable. The ID must be put around their neck and worn the entire school day.  If we consistently enforce this policy, students should always have an ID for:

• Cafeteria meal service
• Checking out library materials
• Signing in when entering the library
• School sponsored events and activities (field trips, etc.) that require an ID
• Safety during any school emergencies

Student ID Badge Responsibilities

Students are expected to:

• Maintain possession of their school-issued ID badges and wear it daily on the appropriate grade level color lanyard.
• Present their ID badge when required for school operations.
• Keep badges in good condition.
• Report lost, stolen, or damaged badges to school administration promptly.
• Use only their assigned badge.

Students may NOT:

• Alter, deface, or damage their ID badge.
• Use another student's ID badge.
• Create, duplicate, or reproduce school-issued identification badges.
• Loan their badge to another student.

Replacement Badges

Students are responsible for safeguarding their badges.

A replacement fee of $5.00 per badge, $1 per lanyard, and $1 per case will be assessed when:

• A badge is lost.
• A badge is intentionally damaged.
• A badge becomes unusable due to alteration or misuse.

The OCS Principal will have the discretion to waive replacement fees when appropriate.
