Dear Sycamore Community School District 427 community —
In the coming weeks, all students will receive new student identification (ID) cards. These cards will feature Radio Frequency Detection (RFID) chips for the sole purpose of logging when and where students enter and exit buses. This will allow us to proactively manage the safety of students, address concerns, and prevent errors such as students entering the wrong bus or exiting at the wrong stop.
Students will keep their current ID cards, and both cards may be used as usual at lunch and in the library. However, only the new student ID cards may be used to enter and exit buses.
At this time, no action is necessary. We will communicate additional details about the new IDs — including the process of entering and exiting buses — before we implement this technology. In the meantime, we encourage all families to review our Student Identification Card webpage for answers to frequently asked questions.
