Poolesville High School

Security Badge/Student ID Updates - from Principal's Sunday message on 9/29/2024

This past week, all students in grades 9-11 received their official student IDs after displaying their temporary IDs through the last couple of weeks.  Now that students have received their official IDs and found effective routines to visibly wear their IDs for the last two weeks, PHS administration and security will be escalating their enforcement of all students having their IDs visible at all times during the school day.  Beginning Monday, September 30, students are required to show their ID before entering Poolesville High School.  Any student who does not have their ID on Monday will be required to complete a form to receive a replacement or temporary ID.  Any lost ID will require a $5.00 obligation for the replacement cost.  Any refusal to wear/display this identification will result in a disciplinary referral and consequences in alignment with the MCPS Student Code of Conduct.  Seniors, you will continue to use your temporary ID until we receive your permanent identification, and you also must adhere to the expectations.  Thank you to our students, staff, and parents for reinforcing the importance of keeping our school community safe.
