We were graciously awarded this money from businesses in Apple Valley from a grant.
They pay for their National Certification at the end of the class and other items that the school/district or my grant for the MAHST Academy can not pay for.
With that being said, if you take this opportunity, we expect you not to quit the class. I have to do a report for the grant each year and do not want to waste their money.
It was important to me to get this opportunity with VVC and offer these students an amazing opportunity and I do not want VVC to stop our partnership. Please discuss with your child about how important this is.
This is a college class. Expectations are different than high school

I am available to answer and teach any concept offered in the course. It is a bonus of taking this class now! Students just need to contact me and set up a time.

The school can help with getting your student to the class. I just need to know who.

Get organized. Write when things are due down in a planner.

DO the readings BEFORE the lecture. You will not be successful without reading the material.

Flash cards - students were given supplies to help them stay organized.

STUDY. I know this is your last year in highschool so you can not get senioritis.

Find groups that study together. Be a team, it makes the class fun and you more successful.

Student HAS to graduate high school. Please make sure their grades are up to date in their other classes as you have to have a high school diploma to take the national registry.

Emergency Medical Technicians provide out of hospital emergency medical care and transportation for critical and emergent patients who access the emergency medical services (EMS) system. EMTs have the basic knowledge and skills necessary to stabilize and safely transport patients ranging from non-emergency and routine medical transports to life threatening emergencies. Emergency Medical Technicians function as part of a comprehensive EMS response system, under medical oversight. Emergency Medical Technicians perform interventions with the basic equipment typically found on an ambulance. Emergency Medical Technicians are a critical link between the scene of an emergency and the health care system.

VVC does a background check before they go the the Fire Department and/or the hospital for their rideouts. They have to have one for the insurance coverage. We pay for that

Students will be given a PPE set for COVID Compliance. We paid for them and they will receive them the first day of class.
