Parents/Guardians:
In 2022, the South Carolina General Assembly unanimously passed S.1103, otherwise known as the South Carolina Child ID law. As a result, Cherokee County School District has been given at-home child ID kits that are available for each student. These are inkless, at-home kits, stored by parents and guardians that never enter a database.
To obtain a kit for your student(s) please, complete the bottom of this form and have your student return it to the main office at Ewing Middle School. We will then give your student a kit to bring home that day.
This kit should take less than 2 minutes to complete and is designated to be stored solely by you as a parent or guardian in a cool, dry, and safe place at home. Please understand there is no obligation to request or use the kit. However, it will allow you to have your child’s vital information, fingerprints, and DNA in a safe place should you ever need it. These kits are to be STORED AT HOME and should only be given to law enforcement in case of an emergency.
Sincerely,
Gavin Fisher
Principal
