Keeping Our Students Safe

Cañon City Schools is committed to creating a safe, secure, and supportive environment for all students and staff. Here is a quick look at how we prioritize safety every day:

• Emergency Protocols: We follow the I Love You Guys Foundation's Standard Response Protocol (SRP) for lockdowns, evacuations, and other emergency events. 

• Campus Security: All schools use secure entry systems and Raptor Technologie's Visitor Management software.

• Digital Safety: We monitor online activity for student well-being using Gaggle's Safety Management for Google software. 

• Transportation Safety: Bus drivers follow strict safety guidelines and routes are monitored for student safety. Buses are equipped with stop-arm cameras. 

• Reunification Plans: If an emergency happens, we have a plan in place to reunite students and families safely. Our reunification plans have been created using the I Love You Guys Standard Reunification Method (SRM). We utilize the SRM for instances where an unplanned early release occurs on campus, or when reunification is required off-campus.

Ensuring the safety of students and staff requires a comprehensive, multi-layered approach. This includes training educators to recognize warning signs, implementing robust safety protocols, and building strong partnerships with law enforcement and community organizations. At Cañon City Schools, the safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority.
