Attention Seniors and Juniors who will graduate early: WCPSS requires students to complete CPR training to graduate from high school.  Students will receive instruction in the hands-only CPR technique.  If you are a senior or early graduating junior who has already taken CPR, you will still need to attend your assigned CPR training session to sign off that you have completed the requirement.  A link will be shared in another message for students to view their CPR groups and the date that they will need to attend a session.  The dates that students may be assigned to are November 7, 8, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, or December 10.  Students will only need to attend the one session that they are assigned to during HOT lunch.  If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Hill at zhill2@wcpss.net.
