Openings available for Safe Sitter training
Trinity Health is accepting registrations for Safe Sitter classes this summer for youths 11 years of age or older, according to information provided by Trinity. Openings are available for classes in July and August.
Safe Sitter is a nationally approved, medically accurate program that teaches young people life and safety skills for when they are home alone, watching younger siblings, or babysitting.
Kathleen White, Community Education supervisor, said the classes have incorporated recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to avoid the spread of COVID-19.
“The safety and health of our instructors and students remain a priority during this unprecedented time,” she said.
Among the recommendations: class size is limited to enable social distancing; students must bring their own mask or face covering to wear; students and instructors will be screened prior to each class; and the classroom will be thoroughly cleaned at the end of each session.
Registrations are now being accepted for the following dates: July 2, 7, 8, 9, 22, and 23; and Aug. 5 and 6. Classes are held from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Education Center at Health Center-Riverside, 1900 8th Avenue SE.
To register, call the Trinity Health Community Education Department at 857-5099. Due to high demand, a course fee of $50 must be paid in advance by sending payment (payable to Trinity Health) to Trinity Health Community Education, PO Box 5020, Minot, ND 58702.
