Student I.D. Badges

The QR code, barcode and RFID code on each badge connects to student management systems such as transportation, the media center, meal payments and flextime scheduler. Elementary and middle school badges do not include the student’s photo. New high school badges will look similar, but will continue to display the student’s school photo as has been done in the past as the photo ID is commonly used for other purposes outside of school that require a photo to be valid.

Please contact your school office to obtain a replacement for damaged or lost ID card.

To save costs, badges will not be replaced every year. New badges will be distributed to students as they enter grades 3, 6 and 9.

As students board and exit the bus, they swipe their badge over the scanner located near the dashboard. The transportation system records the student name, time of swipe, and the approximate location of the bus. This information is immediately uploaded to transportation
staff tracking student ridership. Parents of children who regularly ride the bus and are assigned to specific bus routes are able to track when a student entered or exited a bus using the free MyStop app.

If you are using the student ID and your student boards a bus he/she isn’t assigned to, the system alerts the bus driver and the driver talks with the student before allowing him/her to ride.

If a student forgets to wear a badge to or from school, the bus driver has the ability to manually look up the child’s name on the scanner. If your child isn’t assigned to any bus route, the scanner alerts the driver and he/ she will speak with the student to ensure there is a note
from the parent or if arrangements have been made to allow the student to ride.

Different buses are used to transport students on field trips. MyStop cannot track students on buses that they are not normally assigned to ride to and from school.
