Event Description:
Eligibility for enrollment to the First Aid/CPR class is limited to Portland Public School staff who have been asked by their administrator to become certified. The course is blended two-part training consisting of 30 self-paced online modules that should take about 2 to 3 hours to complete, AND a one hour in-person skills demonstration being held at the MESD building on
March 8th at 3:30 PM. Be prepared to get down on the floor to actively demonstrate your CPR skills. Do not sign up if you are unable to kneel for an extended time. These in-person skills demonstrations will be held in the MESD Auditorium in groups of 6 people. With public health in mind, we will implement these precautions:
** Each participant must wear a face covering the entire time.
** Breathes will be simulated instead of doing actual breaths during this time of COVID-19.
** 30 minutes will be scheduled in between sessions to allow adequate ventilation and disinfecting of surfaces.
** All training items will be used by only one person during these sessions and properly sanitized later-- THERE WILL BE NO SHARING OF ITEMS BETWEEN SESSIONS.
If you need to cancel your enrollment, please call 503-257-1746 or email jhering@mesd.k12.or.us as soon as possible. THANK YOU!
