The CPR is open daily during the school year from 7:00-11:00 and 12:30-3:00. The room may be closed during department meetings and other events.   Students must make an appointment in the Guidance office to receive a pass to use the CPR during the school day.   No pass is necessary before or after school.     We welcome parents to the CPR but ask that you please call ahead to make sure the room is open.
