In our continued effort to improve school safety, security, and increased student accountability, starting next school year, all students and staff at Schaumburg High School will be required to wear school issued photo identification during the school day.

            Students will be issued lanyards to hold the IDs which are to be worn around their necks throughout the day.  Students are expected to wear these lanyards with their IDs at all times and will not be allowed to enter the building without them.  Students that do not wear their IDs on the lanyards that are provided will be subject to disciplinary action. 

            Students are asked not to alter their IDs or wear anything on the lanyards other than the IDs.  Students will continue to be required to surrender their IDs upon staff request.

            Having all students and staff identified with visible identification is a vital aspect to maintaining safety and security at Schaumburg High School.  Below you will find a description of the policy that the district will be adopting.

Throughout the extended school day, students are required to wear and properly display a current school I.D. card on a school issued lanyard at all times, except when specifically exempted on a temporary basis by an authorized faculty member.  The I.D. card must be worn and visible as students enter the building and the I.D. card must remain worn and visible at all times during the school day.  Only a school-issued lanyard may be used to wear and display the I. D. card.  Students must have their I.D. card in their possession when participating in, or attending, any school-related extra-curricular activity.  I.D. cards must be surrendered upon request of any staff member, including bus drivers and student supervisors. The card must be shown to the staff member on duty when entering busses, checking out media materials, making up tests, gaining entrance to school activities and athletic events, and when entering and leaving the school for any purpose.  Students without an I.D. card on a school issued lanyard must obtain a replacement card or lanyard immediately upon entering the school building.

Questions regarding this policy can be directed to Mr. Matthew Hildebrand, Assistant Principal.
