Attention Seniors – PLEASE READ the following IMPORTANT messages:
1. This is a reminder that all Seniors will need to take CPR or show proof of completed CPR certification to meet graduation requirements.
This semester Hempstead Wellness teachers will offer an opportunity for CPR certification. If you have Wellness on your schedule, you will complete this requirement during your class. If you want to get fully certified, you must purchase a CPR card for $6 (pay at Business Office) at time of testing. You do not have to purchase a CPR card to meet graduation requirements.
Here is what students need to do in the following situations:
Already have a CPR certification:
Stop by the Main Office and Kelly McDonnell will make a copy for our records. Also, inform your Wellness teacher you already have CPR certification.
Enrolled in a 1st Semester Wellness class:
CPR classes will take place during your Wellness classes on Monday, November 25 and Tuesday, November 26 (must be in class both days). Contact your PE teacher if you have any questions.
12th grader and athletically exempt from Wellness:
Come to the North gym during your free period on Monday, November 25 and Tuesday, November 26. Any questions see a Wellness teacher. We will teach CPR 1,2,3,4-5th block, 6-7th block, 9th and 10th.
12th grader and academically exempt from Wellness:
Arrange a time to CPR test with a Wellness teacher.
Another option is to take a CPR course online:
You can complete you CPR certification online for $12.95. When complete, turn in your proof of certification to Kelly McDonnell in the main office/registrar’s office. You will take a quiz, then you will purchase your certification after you pass the quiz. Upon completion, you will receive your CPR Certificate and Temporary Wallet Card on-site. You will also receive a FREE PVC/Vinyl Wallet CPR Card in the mail within 2-5 business days.
