CPR Endorsement Instructions
Congrats on finishing up your class work. We are proud of you all!!!
We need to take care of one last thing before graduation. One of the graduation requirements is to be exposed to CPR training. Since we usually do this the last few weeks of school, we were not able to complete this in person. The state has given us an e-training to watch. Please follow the instructions below to fulfill this requirement. Email me or send me a message in remind if you have any questions.
