Student ID Badges
As part of Aiken County Public Schools’ district-wide safety initiative, all students are required to wear school-issued ID badges during the school day. New Ellenton Middle School students have been issued these IDs and have been wearing them daily.
Wearing IDs helps us ensure that everyone on campus is accounted for and authorized to be here, enhancing the safety and security of our school community.
Here’s what families need to know:
• ID badges must be worn daily during school hours.
• Replacement badges will cost $5 if lost.
• Temporary IDs will be available each day for $1. ($1 charge begins Monday, August 18, 2025)
• No cash will be taken, and charges will be placed on PowerSchool/Parent Portal.
• Parents will be notified once a student’s ID-related charges reach $10.
• Student PowerSchool accounts will be billed each quarter for any outstanding fines.
• There is a small credit-card fee for PowerSchool payments.
We appreciate your partnership in supporting this important safety measure. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our front office. Together, we can ensure New Ellenton Middle remains a safe and welcoming place for all students.

Help Us in Afternoon Carline
Want to make car line go faster? A sign with your child or family's last name would help tremendously! Prop it up on your dash, use a pants hanger to hang from your rear view mirror, or wave it out the window like you're on ESPN Game Day. It will be at least a month before we have your vehicle and all your relatives' vehicles memorized.
