Student ID Badges

As a safety measure all students will be photographed and issued an official NJH identification badge upon entry into school. These IDs must be worn on a string or lanyard around the neck. These IDs must be worn daily and visible at all times as a part of the student uniform. The cost for a replacement ID is $5.00 and must be paid at the time a new ID is issued. A temporary ID, good for one day only, can be purchased in the Instructional Technology room for $1.00 (first one is free) from 7:15 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. daily. If a student does not wear their ID, disciplinary action will be taken in accordance with the dress code policy.
