Schools all over the country are turning to student ID\u2019s as a safety feature, and now Captain Shreve is one of them. Although wearing an ID may seem unnecessary or annoying, it all makes sense once you understand the reasoning behind it.<\/p>\n
Shreve initiated the process last school year, when a group of teachers, administrators, and parents met several times with Roy Murry, the director of security for Caddo Parish.<\/p>\n
\u201cThroughout the spring we had meetings and visits, and ultimately made the decision together,\u201d Mrs. Gustavson said. \u201cWe all came to the consensus that going to ID\u2019s does enhance security and safety, and that Captain Shreve would be implementing students and staff wearing ID\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mrs. Gustavson understands that the new policy will take some getting used to, but she feels that the benefit is definitely worth it.<\/p>\n
We know that it\u2019s a big change,\u201d Mrs. Gustavson said. \u201cIt\u2019s one more thing to have to remember…and one more thing for us to check. Even though maybe we wish we didn\u2019t have to wear them, we understand why we should and how it can help us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Freshman Georgette Berne gave her opinion on wearing ID\u2019s. Her first thought when she found out about the policy was the stress of having to keep up with the ID.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt first I was frustrated,\u201d she said. \u201cBut now I\u2019ve come to understand.\u201d<\/p>\n
We keep hearing about how ID\u2019s enhance security, but how exactly does wearing an ID keep us safer at school?<\/p>\n
We keep hearing about how ID\u2019s enhance security, but how exactly does wearing an ID keep us safer at school?<\/p>\n
\u201cAccording to research, there are a couple of key ways to being able to identify students who should or should not be on campus,\u201d Mrs. Gustavson explained. \u201cAnd that would be wearing uniforms…or wearing ID\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n
When faced with these two options, she says that this was an easy choice for them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe feel like, for us at Captain Shreve, going to the ID\u2019s was a better fit than going to school uniforms,\u201d she said. \u201cWe very much value students\u2019…expression with wearing the clothes that they choose to wear within the dress code.\u201d<\/p>\n
Almost all Shreve students agree with this decision. Georgette would definitely rather wear an ID than a school uniform.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t like uniforms,\u201d she said. \u201cI feel like they keep me from being myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
What students may not know is that we will soon be using our ID\u2019s for access control, meaning we\u2019ll use them to open doors. We may even start this at the beginning of next school year. This is just one of the many security advantages of student ID\u2019s. According to Mrs. Gustavson, an added benefit is that wearing ID\u2019s actually strengthens the \u201cShreve is Family\u201d experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo me it really goes to enhance the whole camaraderie of the Shreve community,\u201d Gustavson said. \u201cThis helps us put faces with names, and then we get to know each other better.\u201d<\/p>\n
