The School District of Holmen offers free CPR classes for District employees and District employed coaching staff.  

American Red Cross does not accept renewing CPR certification for those who have perviously been certified through American Heart Association.  If you are certified with American Heart Association, you will need to take the New Cert class through the School District of Holmen if you want to be certified through American Red Cross.

Teachers that are required as part of their job description (below) to take the CPR Class during non-contracted time are compensated for taking the CPR Class.  Please complete an Educator Payment Form after attending the class and send it to Anna Lee in Instructional Services.  Teachers who would like to take the class that are not required to have it as part of their job description are welcome to do so, on their own time.  There is no compensation unless it is a requirement of the position you hold.  NOTE: YOU MAY NOT USE CPR TRAINING TO FULFILL YOUR FLEXIBLE STAFF DEVELOPMENT HOURS.

Employees that are required to have CPR Certification as part of their Job Description are expected to complete a CPR Class as soon as possible after hired.  The list of employees/classifications that CPR is required as part of the job description is listed below.

**Non-District Employees, including Long Term Substitutes, are charged a $40.00 class fee. 

**Checks can be made out to "School District of Holmen" and should be turned in to the Instructor on the day of your class.

Note for EA Substitutes

Educational Assistant Subs are required to be certified in CPR.  If you are an Educational Assistant Substitute, you are welcome to sign up for one of our classes, however, since you are employed through Teachers on Call and not the School District of Holmen, you will need to pay the $40.00 class fee at the time of the class.

Note for Long Term Substitutes

If you are a Long Term Substitute, you are welcome to sign up for one of our classes, however, you will need to pay the $40.00 class fee at the time of the class.

All Classes will be held at the District Office, in the new addition Training Rooms East/West (Lower Level).

Sign up can be done on the CPR Class Calendar. There are a limited number of spaces in each class due to the number of training materials, so if you show up without signing up in advance, you could be turned away. Please make sure you sign up at least 2 working days in advance of the class date; classes will be canceled if there are not enough employees signed up.

If you have completed the CPR & First Aid certification and are not sure of the date you need to re-certify, you can locate your expiration dates on the American Red Cross Website.   You can also check your certification date in Skyward.  Here is a VIDEO showing you how.  You must re-certify within 30 days of your expiration date to be able to take the re-certification class. If you are 30 days past your current CPR expiration date, you need to enroll in the new certification class.

New Certification Classes

3 hour class for employees needing to become CPR & First Aid certified for the first time OR if prior certification has been expired for 30 days or more.

Re-Certification Classes

1 hour class for employees needing to renew their CPR & First Aid certification.  This means that the employee has a CURRENT Certification, or the class is within the 30 days of their certificate expiration.

All certifications (CPR, First Aid and AED) are good for 2 years.
