We require an updated completed quiz on file and a brush-up on procedures and being aware of changes in procedures is necessary. Attend any ONE of the scheduled training times. Dates for training will be announced.

Attendance is taken through the completed quiz at the conclusion of the training session. Training is expected to take no more than one hour. You do not need to sign up for training, just show up, and take the quiz.

For liability and safety, all students are expected to ride the buses to the event.
