4-Day School Week

Beginning with the 2022/2023 school year, Cardinal Community School District will transition to a four-day school week to give teachers more time to prep for classes and provide built-in time for professional development. Professional development will happen every other Monday. 

Project Spark

At Cardinal, we recognize that high levels of stress amongst our staff can negatively affect our students. To combat stress for both our students and our teachers, we've implemented Project Spark. The program, based on books by author Shawn Achor, focuses on four areas of health: emotional, physical, financial, and spiritual.

In order to support staff in all four of those areas, Cardinal has staff members break up into growth groups that match their interests and beliefs. The groups take part in different activities that support the different areas of health such as yoga classes, family events, financial classes, and more.
