ID Cards have always been an important part of on campus procedures for MS students, at ISB. Now, however, they are essential to access campus. Each student must have their own ID card with them to pass through the turnstiles and access campus.
The turnstiles will scan the ID and confirm:
- the student has complete the ATK test and submitted the form indicating low COVID risk
- the student does not fall into a category of contact risk from a previously reported case
- the student is wearing a mask
- the student’s temperature is in normal range
If a student does not have their ID, they will not be permitted to enter campus.
In order for us to look after the safety of all in the community, we have to be strict on this – not allowing exceptions for whom we cannot confirm identity or test results.
We know that MS-aged students can sometimes forget their ID cards or struggle with keeping organized. We need parents support with this, so that students who arrive at school are able to come into campus. We understand that it may be an inconvenience to family’s if their child is denied access because they don’t have their ID, however, safety must be our top priority.
Students who do not meet entry requirements will be kept off campus until parents can pick them up and/or the student can return home.
Please help your child come up with a system to ensure they always have their ID card when coming to campus. Suggestions include:
- attaching it to a lanyard on their school bag
- laying out items the night before that must be brought to school
- having the same place for items like ID, wallet, phone, etc that your child drops off and picks up in and out of the door
- attaching the ID to their phone (most students somehow always remember their phone!)
