Ident-A-Kid Program

On Thursday 10 December, Williams Middle School students will have the opportunity to get an Ident-A-Kid Pre-Drivers ID Card. The cards feature a full color photograph along with important identification information including their finger print. Your student should have brought home a yellow sheet that included payment information and an envelope. This program is great way to identify our kids in the event of a school or medical emergency and can also be used to receive student discounts. I hope that you will take advantage of this program! Please return the envelope with your student on or before Thursday.
