With the return to in-person instruction, it is of the utmost importance to address the safety of both our students and staff in schools.  In the era of COVID-19, ​vendors providing training have been very innovative in mitigating COVID-19 risks while meeting the simulated experience requirement. Should you have further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to contact Tania Sharp​ using the information at the bottom of this ​page.
