Attendance
Student ID Badges
All Henrico County Public Schools students will be provided student ID cards to bring and use to school every day. These cards are designed to streamline and simplify various parts of the school day, while making school environments safer and more secure. The cards bring together a handful of processes and makes them all accessible with a quick scan or tap.
Once they receive them, please be sure that your student has their ID badges when they board the bus. ID badges are required and help to ensure safety for all students.

School Zone Traffic Safety
We appreciate your patience during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. Here are a few key points to keep your student and our entire community as safe as possible.
- Please follow the arrows and only enter or exit through the proper areas from Messer road.
- Remember to keep the speed to under 10 MPH while on campus.
- Please pull onto campus to drop-off or pick-up your student, as it is unsafe to load or unload students into vehicles parked on Messer Road.

- Please follow all directives given by our trained School Security Officer.
