Complete CPR/First Aid Training

CPR Instructions are here. 
Your Access code was sent in the Welcome Email

All employees and volunteers must go through CPR Training every two years. 

If you currently hold a CPR Certification from the last two years, you may submit that verification to the front office instead of taking this online course. 

Complete Ministry Safe Training 

MinistrySafe was created by legal professionals who are sexual abuse experts. After decades of litigating sexual abuse cases, Gregory Love and Kimberlee Norris founded MinistrySafe to help ministries meet legal standards of care and reduce the risk of sexual abuse by creating preventative measures tailored to fit the needs of churches, camps and ministry programs. -Ministry Safe Website

​Teachers, Staff, Coaches and any adult who has regular contact with our students must undergo Ministry Safe Training every two years. 

You will receive an email through the Ministry Safe Website when you have been registered for the course. 

If you already hold a Ministry Safe Certification from the last two years from your church or other ministry organization, you must contact that organization and have them send your verification to the Front Office Manager, Rhonda Jones at rhondajones@clps.info.

Technology Tutorials

Before we meet for New Teacher Training, it will be essential that you take some time to work through our technology tutorials. If you have experience with these platforms, it is okay to skip those for later. However, in the video tutorials there are many helpful hints and policies mentioned that will be very useful to you. Your department head is prepared to help you every step of the way at our New Teacher Training in August. If you need help before that time, please contact Vice Principal Amy Hay at amyhay@clps.info
