Please refer to the Student ID Cards Guidelines.

Our primary goal is to foster a culture where using ID cards becomes a daily habit. We are empowering you to hold students accountable and instill in them the importance of carrying their ID throughout the day. Your role in this transition is crucial and will contribute to an organized and efficient school environment.

Please review the ERCMP chapter:

08.06 SRP Grade 3-5, & Grade 6-12 & Staff Training Videos

The most up-to-date maps and floorplans I have for your location can be found in the ERCMP Chapter 10 Maps, Floor Plans, Evacuation Routes
