Scottsdale School District students will be required to wear ID cards when they return to school next month. The new procedure covers middle and high school students.

High school students will be issued a photo student ID and lanyard during registration week and middle school students will get theirs a few weeks after school starts. While the ID and lanyard are free, if the card is lost or stolen, students are likely to be charged a replacement fee.
