Campus Safety

posted May 25, 2022

Our hearts are with the students, teachers, and families of Uvalde, Texas. The safety of our students is a top priority, so each time there is violence on a school campus, it prompts us to pause and reflect on the safety measures and our standard response protocol we have in place. This also reminds us how important our efforts are to invest in forming trusting relationships with and among students in our schools.

We are grateful for our partnerships with the Eldon Volunteer Fire Department, Wapello County Emergency Management, and the Wapello County Sheriff's Office. We are thankful to the Wapello County Supervisors and the Cardinal School Board for providing a school resource officer, who works closely with us to be diligent and in tune with individuals who may be in distress so we can prevent violence and respond appropriately to any threat.

We all have a role in sustaining a safe learning environment. If you or your child see something out of the ordinary or concerning, say something to someone involved. Report things to your teacher, principal, or local law enforcement officials. Suspicious activity can be reported to Wapello County Sheriff's Office at 641-684-4350 or our school resource officer, Chris Shadduck, at 641-652-7531 ext. 3233.

Thank you for your vigilance in keeping Cardinal School District safe.
