🚨SAFETY FIRST🚨 Families - please ensure your child wears their school-issued ID badge daily. These ID badges are an essential component of our overall safety plan. In addition, your child's badge allows them to easily perform certain school-related functions, such as boarding/exiting their school bus, purchasing meals or checking out materials from the media center. If your child needs a new badge, please contact their school. #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud
