Q. What do I do with the lanyard/nametag and wristbands that I received?
A. Each night you will help your child tear off the security stub on the wristband and place the wristband on the child. You will keep the security stub so that you can pick your child up at the end of the evening. The first night you check in your child will receive a lanyard if they are in elementary school or a name tag if they are in preschool. Elementary will wear their lanyard each night. Preschool will be provided with a name tag for each night.
