<p>Assistant Principal, <strong>Ms. Casey Pedrick</strong> shares that the secretaries in room 225, who handle MetroCard distribution, have reported an uptick in the number of students who have <strong>lost their MetroCards</strong> and are requesting replacements. They processed 31 requests in less than two days last week!</p>
<p>We understand that students have a lot in their bags and that cards get lost. We would just like to take this opportunity to ask that students <strong>pick a constant place for their MetroCard to be stored</strong> between swipes. Ms. Pedrick shares that she keeps hers in her phone case because she keeps track of her phone at all times. Perhaps a good place to keep that MetroCard is in a foldable ID case or in the front pocket of a bookbag. Whatever storage method that works, commit to keeping the MetroCard there, so the chances of it getting lost go down.</p>
