The safety of students and staff is the highest priority for the Caldwell School District. A safe learning environment takes into consideration of all the factors that affect feelings of safety and security for all individuals, including the staff, students, and families in our District. We keep our students and staff safe by addressing both the building of a positive and supportive culture in each school building as well as the physical facilities that house our students.
