Campus Access

Student ID Cards

All students are issued an ICS identification card with name, grade level and photo. Lost or stolen ID cards should be reported to the office immediately. A replacement card will be issued for 100 birr. ICS identification cards are not transferable to others and should not be loaned to others to give them campus access.

The ID cards are used as prepaid debit cards, within ICS only, to purchase a hot lunch/buffet or snacks from the ICS cafeteria. The prepaid account uses an electronic debit system. The student ID card has a unique code that is used to access the student’s ICS prepaid account by a simple scan at the cafeteria cashier. Students can also use their ID cards to reserve space in the Sports Pavilion and we will be exploring other uses for the ID, for example use at the student store.

For assistance with your student’s prepaid account, you can visit the IT Help desk or contact us by email at prepaid.service@icsaddis.org. At this time, cash is also accepted to purchase food at the ICS cafeteria.

Campus Access

The full Campus Access Policy can be found on the Community Portal page of our website, HERE.

Permission for a student to host a guest during the day should be obtained from the principal at least two days in advance of the visit. The ICS student host is responsible for the guest while on campus and for advising the guest that s/he is expected to abide by the same regulations that apply to ICS students. To minimize disruption to the learning, within the middle school, visiting students will be allowed to join classes on Wednesdays.
