📢 RMS Student ID Badge Requirements
To help maintain a safe, secure, and orderly learning environment, all Riversprings Middle School students are required to wear their student ID badge at all times while on campus.
Student ID badges will be distributed tomorrow, August 13, to returning Wakulla County School District students. New students/students who lost their ID badges will receive their ID badges within the next few weeks.

✅ Student ID badges serve several important purposes:
Help staff quickly identify individuals on campus
Enhance school safety and security
Allow students to scan on and off school buses
Support efficient school operations throughout the day
🎒 Student Responsibilities
Wear your ID badge and keep it visible each school day.
Maintain your badge in good condition.
Report any lost or damaged badge to school administration as soon as possible to obtain a replacement.
💳 Replacement Badge Fees
1st replacement: FREE
2nd replacement: $2.00
Each additional replacement: $5.00
⚠️ Important Reminder: Failure to carry or properly wear an ID badge may result in school-based disciplinary consequences.
Thank you for helping us keep RMS a safe and secure place for all students and staff!

Two ways to stay connected for the 2026–2027 school year!
Wakulla County Schools offers families two important tools to stay connected with their child’s teacher, school, and district.
Focus Parent Portal is available online and through the Focus mobile app. It gives families access to your child's information, including schedules, grades, attendance, report cards, teacher communication, and important forms such as Transportation Registration and the Annual Enrollment Update. Families should also review their Focus communication settings and preferences to verify their email address and manage available notifications and alerts. A Focus Parent Portal account is required.
The Wakulla County Schools app mirrors our district and school websites, providing convenient mobile access to school news, social media updates, staff information, event calendars, important documents, emergency push notifications, and more. Families and community members can follow multiple schools in one place. Tired of relying on social media algorithms to see important school updates?
