Purchase Backup ID's
Every student at Northwood is issued one ID and lanyard at no charge at the beginning of the school year. BUT life happens, and ID's are often lost or left at home! Save yourself any last minute panic by purchasing your student a backup ID (or two or three). Encourage your student to hang backups in their locker or zip them into a special pocket on their bookbag.
Use the MySchoolBucks links below to order additional ID supplies for your student. If purchased before 1:30 pm, our Media Center will issue items directly to your student the same day. Items purchased after 1:30 pm will be issued the following school day.
Purchase ID Card Only for $3
Purchase ID Card and Lanyard for $5
Purchase ID Card, Lanyard, & Protector Pouch for $6
