Getting Parents Involved in Education

With a new school year approaching, teachers, students and even parents are getting prepared. Back to school preparation involves various tasks, including getting name tags for your school. From photo IDs for teachers to reusable badges for parent volunteers, these products will help any school run more smoothly. Here are some great resources that we offer that will help improve any educational experience.

When students and staff wear name tags, it becomes easier for them to start up conversations and build connections. Name tags act as quick and friendly introductions and they break down any barriers that occur when new people meet. This creates a warmer and more inclusive atmosphere. By seeing each other’s names, everyone at school can address each other personally. This simple act will create better social interactions and help to promote a sense of belonging among scholars.

While name tags may seem like a small detail, their impact is far reaching. From breaking the ice and opening lines of communication to providing a safe environment and promoting school spirit, name tags create inclusive and supportive environments. By using name tags in schools, everyone can embrace the power of personal connection and help lay the foundation for a more connected education.

How can name tags help parents in a classroom setting?

Name tags are perfect for anyone who frequently volunteers in your school. Use Conference Name Tags and customize them to show who belongs. Security is one of the most important parts of any school setting. These name tags will show who is volunteering so that teachers, students and staff know who they can rely on. You can even add your school’s name, colors and mascot to these badges, so you can make sure that they stay in your building.

Promote a sense of familiarity and encourage open communication channels with new name tags. They eliminate the awkwardness of not knowing someone’s name and facilitate communication, which makes it easier for people to ask for help and engage in meaningful discussions. Whether it’s a student seeking help from a teacher or peers working together on a project, teamwork begins by being able to address each other by name.

Another use for these unique tags is for student identification. Most teachers have so many students that it is hard to remember everyone’s names. Name tags are great helpers that make remembering names easier. Students will love the personalization and knowing there is a specific space just for them. Using these tags can also help students while they get to know each other.

Why should parents customize ribbons for their students?

Any student will consider themselves lucky to get a ribbon customized with them in mind. Customize these ribbons with bright themes and vivid colors; they are great for every student achievement. So, show your approval of a student’s work with these fun, full color ribbons. Or help students feel more confident about themselves as they work through the new school year.

A great place to use these ribbons is at sporting events. Does your school have a field day coming up or a rally for back to school night, and needs awards for all the participants? Honor every student participating with a special ribbon printed with their achievement or other titles.

Another quick use for these wonderful, colorful ribbons is to give them as a bookmark. Have them printed with a saying and an image to make them really special. Give them at a back to school night or award them in class.

The Power of Identification in Schools

From helping to make connections to creating inclusion, name tags and custom products will make everyone feel like they belong and help them to work together.

Badge Ribbons, Photo ID Badges, Lanyards and Volunteer name tags can all be used by students, staff, teachers and parents in any school setting.

Custom Badge Ribbons

Quickly identify students on the first day of school with customized ribbons. Design your ribbons with room numbers and teachers’ names to help students feel like they belong. They are super easy to use, especially with double sided tape that is ready to stick to anything.

Photo IDs with Matching Lanyards

Giving teachers and other staff photo identification enhances your school’s safety. Use them with matching lanyards to provide easy visual identification for those who belong within the school. This also makes it easier to quickly identify any outsiders that may come into the school, including volunteers and parents.

Engraved Name Tags

Provide identification for parent volunteers from the moment they walk into your school to the moment they walk out. These easy to use name tags will help students and staff know who they can turn to and that there are parents who are working to be involved in their student’s education. You can also promote school spirit by incorporating school colors on your name tags.

Wearing Name Tags and Feeling Safe at Work

Your employer knows that wearing name tags goes hand-in-hand with their credibility. If someone knows your name and the company you represent, they are more likely to initiate a conversation or make a purchase. So, by having employees quickly identifiable, your employer will be able to retain more and more consumers.

Employees who wear name tags also offer a sense of responsibility and good customer service in their workplace. Often, name tags are the hardest working element on your uniform during meetings, conventions and other professional events. These incredible tools are essential to your employer’s marketing and customer communication.

Feeling safe while wearing name tags

While wearing name tags at work can often feel risky, most employers require one either with or in place of a uniform. And when working for one of these companies, it can become slightly unsettling when you are required to wear your name for everyone to see. So, here are some quick tips to help you feel safer when you wear a name tag.

Wearing Name Tags: First Name Only

Become more relatable to customers with a simple first name only name tag while you work. As name tags immediately remove all barriers, they allow customers to ask questions and express their concerns. In addition, they let the customer know who they are working with from the moment they meet you.

While this may seem a bit intimidating, remember that you are working to represent the company. Patrons to this business need the ability to find what they need quickly, and your name tag is part of that. So, even wearing a tag with your first name provides this relatability.

Also, it can be challenging to remember everyone’s name, especially in larger business locations. However, by wearing name tags, newer employees and other team members in the company are more apt to recognize each other. This recognition also increases security in the workplace.

Also, adding a logo helps with brand recognition for your company.

Building Company and Brand Recognition

Corporate branding is a rising trend and doesn’t seem to be peaking any time soon. Add your retail store logo to your name tags, and quickly identify every employee, volunteer and other staff at your location. Inevitably when employees go to lunch, they leave their name tags on. Sometimes employees even wear them on their way home from work. When employees continually wear their name tags in public, a company’s brand is repeatedly advertised.

Reusable Name Badges for the Win!

Wearing name tags is easy when it's a simple badge holder with a printed insert and a handwritten name.

No matter what job you have, name badges are an important way to help any employer help recognize those on the job. From volunteering to temporary workers, everyone needs to feel safe where they spend their time. So, even a simple reusable name tag with a handwritten name helps to garner security.

Pro Tips for Employers

As an employer, it is in your best interest to think about employee safety and resolve your employees’ concerns about wearing name tags. When employees feel safe at work, they are happier, more loyal and more productive. In addition, they experience lower stress levels and take risks to develop creative solutions. If you want your employees to do their best, you must help them feel safe wearing name tags.

Wearing Name Tags Provides Better Security

When you require employees and other staff to wear name tags, you can quickly identify and acknowledge whether or not they belong where they are. Name tags are particularly valuable in companies and organizations that deal with high tech gadgets, expensive equipment or sensitive information.

As identification keeps becoming increasingly popular, wearing name tags will always be essential in any business environment.
