Support students and staff in their social, emotional, and physical wellbeing so they can learn, teach, grow, and find their Pathway of Purpose. The Cherry Creek School District believes when the whole wellbeing of students and staff is supported and valued, they can reach their full potential as learners and educators.

Key Strategies

Physical Safety

Enhance the physical safety of students and staff through heightened entry procedure protocols, additional district security coordinators, collaboration with public safety partners, and investment in security upgrades, such as state-of-the-art emergency intercoms, secure vestibules, and a centralized dispatch center. 

Psychological Safety

Ensure students and staff have the support and resources to feel emotionally safe, free to be their authentic selves, and ready to learn. Continue improving crisis prevention and response, expand the district crisis team, and create a new dashboard to integrate safety response information, including suicide risk reviews and threat assessments. 

Increased Healthcare Access

Improve access and health outcomes for school communities through expanded telehealth and school-based community health centers. In addition, the district has increased mental health staffing and has at least one registered nurse in every building to support students.
