Janet's Law
Oratory Prep School has gone above and beyond the requirements of Janet's Law to ensure the safety of our students both in the classroom and on the athletics field. Oratory Prep faculty, staff, and coaches are all required to hold current CPR/AED cards. Coaches are also required to hold certification in First Aid. These courses are offered to our employees. Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are located in the school building and available during the school day. AEDs are also on hand at all home athletic events and are taken on all field trips/retreats. Oratory Prep has also updated its Emergency Action Plan to include how to deal with a cardiac emergency occurring on campus.
