This fall, students at Verona High School are sporting a new fashion accessory - their student ID cards.
The cards, which feature the student's name, photograph, bar code, student number, grade and bus icon, are attached to lanyards the students are required to wear around their necks.
"I like the band," freshman Adam Amato said of the ID and lanyard. "(It) is kind of cool."
Amato said the ID card can be an annoyance, but he understands that the new policy is designed to protect students.
"When I came in here I thought it was kind of stupid. Who wants to wear their name tag all day?" he said. "I'm fine with wearing it now."
