ID System for Checking In & Picking Up Students
As started in the 2009-2010 school year, we will continue with the streamlined checking in and picking up process for students. In order to pick up your child or check them in you must have a VALID STATE-ISSUED ID OR MILITARY CAC CARD. It will not accept a dependent or retired military ID. The system is in place in most San Antonio area school districts and allows a quick check of the ID through a database and allows for personalization of the visitor pass to be printed (when applicable). This was put in place for the protection and safety of all of our students. We thank you for your understanding and support.
We Need You - Volunteer Today!
Volunteers are a vital part of our school community and offer many advantages to student learning and development. We enjoy having strong parental involvement on our campus and encourage you to volunteer your talents. For the safety and security of our scholars, we must have a Volunteer Background Check completed prior to service. Click HERE to download a copy. We encourage all interested members to complete the application prior to the school year or activity to ensure sufficient time for processing and approval.
