How to Pick Teacher Lanyards for Your School

As a school administrator, parent committee member or administrative assistant preparing for the new school year, you have a daunting number of tasks ahead of you. Your exhaustive list probably includes things like selecting teacher lanyards, ordering new textbooks, hiring staff, coordinating student orientation, and preparing for the parent open house.

Whether the task is large or small, everything must be done by that first day of school. This article will help you select the best lanyards for your teachers so you have more time to for other important responsibilities like enrolling new students and developing programs for your pupils.

ID badge holders are a requirement at most schools now, because they increase security on your school’s campus. As your veteran teachers return to the classroom after the summer break, surprise them with fashion lanyards, personalized notebooks or stationery, and other treats that say, “Welcome Back!” For your new hires, personalized lanyards can be a great way to say “Welcome to our team!”

Selecting the right lanyard for your teachers and your school security requirements is fairly easy. Once you’ve finished you can move on to the school year’s next important job. To begin, answer the following questions about your team’s needs:

Where will the teachers’ ID badges be worn? Picking the right lanyard will depend on where teachers are required to display their photo IDs. For a variety of selections, you might want to try traditional lanyards that can be worn around the neck, wrist ribbons, or badge reels that can be worn on the lapel.

How many badges are needed? You’ll need at least one lanyard for every teacher, but fashion lanyards aren’t just for teachers. Do you also need to purchase lanyards for support staff, maintenance staff, and volunteers? For larger orders, try to find a supplier that offers bulk sale discounts.

What style of badge will your teachers like best? Because the lanyard is so popular in schools and other work settings there are a lot of options available. BooJee lanyards, for instance, offers several types of beaded lanyards, ribbon lanyards, and leather lanyards that are durable enough to be used every day.

What colors or materials will work best for your teachers? BooJee Ribbons, for example, are available in many colors and patterns. You can even special order lanyards with your school colors, mascot or logo.

Do you need to keep replacement badges on hand? It’s a good idea to keep replacements available for new hires and volunteers. Don’t forget to purchase a few extra clear ID badge holders for displaying and protecting teacher photo IDs.

After you have answered the above questions, all you need to do is complete a quick price comparison and start shopping. In just a few minutes you will have a great welcome back gift for your teachers and you will be helping to increase school security on campus. It’s going to be a great new school year!
