DCPS Student ID Card - how to get?

[Anonymous]

My son is going on an 8th grade trip next week and it's suggested that he bring his student ID. I don't think he was ever issued one - is anyone aware of how to get one at this point in the year? Or, is his student ID his DC One card?

Thanks in advance!

This. I think most people forgot about DC One Cards once the KRF metro cards became available.

KRF cards don’t have pictures. What options are available for students under 16 who need ID?

As PP said, a DC One card. These are still available, they just don't load KRF benefits onto them anymore.

That said, regular fares and passes can still be loaded on DC One cards. I am adult and I use mine. My son has finished HS and he uses his still. We have other metro cards, but like to use these in case they get lost.

Students have to get DC One cards from the designated DC One card administrator at their school. It is easy, but can take a few days.

DC One cards are no longer being issued, for anyone curious -- I wanted my kid to get one this year but the school sent out a notice about the discontinuation.
