Student ID Badges
To support a safe and secure learning environment, Eanes ISD will begin requiring all students in grades 6–12 to wear a district-issued student ID badge during the 2025–2026 school year.
These badges serve as both visual identification and digital access tools for transportation, campus resources, and select facilities.

Student ID Badge Guidelines
-
Requirement: Students must wear their official ID badge visibly at all times while on campus during school hours, and when riding district transportation.
-
Placement: ID badges must be worn and visible at all times (on a lanyard or clipped to the upper torso). They must remain visible to staff and security personnel throughout the day.
-
Security: Students may not lend or share their badges with others. Misuse or tampering (including applying stickers, buttons, or markings to their badges or badge covers) may result in disciplinary action.
-
Lost/Damaged Badges: Lost or damaged badges must be reported immediately via the campus office. A $10 replacement fee ($5 each for badge and lanyard) will be added to the student’s Skyward account.
