Iowa Safe Schools understands the importance of respecting the name of each and every attendee, and we celebrate the identities of every student! Legal names are required to expedite check-in and keep all attendees safe. Lists of attendees and their legal name will not be shared with anyone aside from staff and volunteers. There will be nametags and markers available at each table in the main ballroom for attendees to write the name they wish to be called throughout the conference. 
2. If you are a school registering a group of students, every student must give their legal name prior to 12:00PM on April 1st, 2024. Failure to do so will result in denial of entry into the conference with no refund.
