Winter Semester Reminders

Published on January 15, 2026

Students practicing EMT skills on their classmates.

Welcome to all our new students currently starting their classes this winter semester!

A few reminders for those returning and those brand-new students:

Please ensure you're in proper uniform every day you arrive for class.
- That means clean shaven, in proper safety-toe boots, and that your shirt is tucked in!
Ensure that you're cleaning up after yourselves; this is your house now too!
- Daily cleaning tasks are posted in your classroom.
- Make sure to take your lunch bags and food items home with you over the weekend.
- See a need - fill a need! See a piece of paper on the floor in the hallway? Throw it away and keep the shared space clean!
Be prepared for a long day - make sure you're bringing enough food, stationary supplies, or your laptop charging cord with you to class.
- Don't forget, we have the micro market you can purchase food and drinks at on your breaks or before and after class.
Don't forget to communicate!
- Remember your chain of command and have those important phone numbers saved in your phone to call quickly when an emergency arises.
- Ask for help on topics you're having issues with in class; the instructors and staff want to see you succeed!

We hope that you enjoy your time here at CSRIPS and remember that we're here to help you along your journey.

Happy studying!
