We hope the following information will help you understand our PHOTO I.D. BADGE SYSTEM.
When we let go of your child’s hand, we
want to make sure that the next one they grasp is yours. As teachers
and administrators, we want to be sure that your child is loved and
protected. As parents, you want to know that you can worship and
fellowship without worrying about the safety of your child. That is why
we have the PHOTO I.D. BADGE SYSTEM. Securing KIDS Town for the
safety of the children is a high priority. Therefore, we are
implementing a photo I.D. Badge program. We want to ensure that only
adults with proper credentials (I.D. Badges) are granted access to KIDS Town. Such access would be granted to teachers (servants) in KIDS Town, parents of children in KIDS Town, and staff. Guests and adults who forget their badges will be required to visit an Information Desk for temporary credentials.
- All adults who serve in KIDS Town are required to wear a photo I.D. badge to gain access to the building.
- All adults with children in KIDS Town (Newborn through 2nd grade) will be required to wear a photo I.D. badge to gain access to the building.
- All Perimeter Staff must wear their Staff Name Tag to gain access to the building (staff offices are located in KIDS Town).

the process:
|
PARENTS/GUARDIANS OF THE CHILD(REN) WILL BE PHOTOGRAHED TOGETHER; THIS WILL NOT BE REQUIRED FOR SINGLE PARENTS/GUARDIAN. Children are not photographed. The child (birth – 2nd grade)will
be issued a name tag by their Room Administrator which will have the
photo of their Parent(s)/Guardian(s). This will act as a visual cue for
the Administrators when parents retrieve their child(ren). If any one
other than the parent is to retrieve a child, the parent(s)/guardian(s)
must grant approval on the Badge Application Form. These authorized
people will be listed on the back of the child’s nametag. All families
who complete the “badging process” will be issued a Family I.D. Number.
This number is printed on the parent(s)/guardian(s) I.D. Badge and on
the child’s badge. The parent(s)/guardian(s) number MUST MATCH to
retrieve the child. The entire process will begin with the
parent(s)/guardian(s) completing an I.D. Badge Application Form. The
forms will be located at all Information Desks. Parent(s)/guardians(s)
are required to complete the form PRIOR to having their photo taken.
This will help expedite the process. In most cases, I.D. Badges will be
issued on the spot. HERE’S THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THE WHOLE
SECURITY PROGRAM: You Must Wear Your I.D. Badge to gain access into KIDS Town.This
means you must remember to bring your ID Badge each week. If you forget
your badge, you will be directed to an Information Desk to secure a
temporary pass. There could be (and probably will be) congestion at the
desks, so please WEAR YOUR I.D. Badge! Guests to KIDS Town will
be directed to an Information Desk for their temporary pass. If they
express their intent to be a regular attender, they will be instructed
where to have their Photo I.D. Badge made. They will also be given
information about their child(ren’s) class and how to get there. Their
children will be issued guest I.D. tags by the class Administrator upon
entering the class. The guest (parent) will be given a tag that
corresponds with the child’s to be used to retrieve the child. |
