Concussion Training for all Parents, Faculty, Students

In an effort to increase awareness about the importance of proper concussion recognition and management, the School is requesting that all students, faculty, and parents complete an online course about concussions, and their effect on participation in sports.

There are two online courses that are available to all at no cost.  We ask that you please view one of these courses prior to the opening of school in September. The two links are:
