Our school is relatively small (450 students) which makes this more possible, but our Guidance Counselor takes each new student on a tour of = the building and introduces them to their teachers, to me, to the assistant principal, to the cooks, and to anyone else they happen to meet up with = on the tour (student body president, random teachers, the custodian, other students, etc.) I think it helps them feel more welcome. We also have = very friendly and gracious students who go out of their way to make a new = student comfortable. We are supposed to wear name badges, but to be honest, I often "forget" = mine unless I'm going to be visiting another school in the county.

Okay, I have put in my two cents worth. In business it is now the rule rather than the exception to have name badges - at least in the Seattle area. WHy not pitch it as a job skill (wearing the namge badge)? Also, I had a rather negative and totally preventable experience with a = kid a couple years ago. It was May, the kid had just enrolled and didn't = know "the rules" and was in the library without a signed planner, etc.... I = was not wearing a name badge so the kid also didn't know me from Adam. In = the process of trying to figure out his story, I asked him to accompany me = to the assistant principal's office and put my hand on his shoulder. I got = hit in the shoulder as he recoiled from my friendly hand! If I had had a = badge maybe the kid wouldn't have felt it necessary to get himself in that = kind of trouble. And, had the admin emailed around his picture with a note saying - here' so and so - make him feel welcome, maybe I would have = handled things differently too!

In our small (270 students) K-8 school, we do not require ID for = students or for staff since we have only about 20-25 staff members and we are all = known to everyone here. On the other hand, anyone from outside, whether Board employees, contractors, parents, or visitors, must sign in at the = security desk and wear an identifying badge. So far it has worked well for us. = I doubt that it would work as well in a larger school but with our little ones, name badges seem sort of over the top. -- Gail Smith, NBCT Librarian & Tech Facilitator Edison Regional Gifted Center, Chicago gsmith@edison.cps.k12.il.us =3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D= -=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D=3D-=3D-=3D- All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
