Sexual Health and Responsibility Education

The Sexual Health and Responsibility Education Unit will be taught 8/26 - 9/8 by the district health educators to students currently enrolled in PE I. A general overview and outline of the district’s age appropriate, abstinence-based sexual health & responsibility education curriculum can be viewed on the district website under the Students & Parents Heading then scrolling to the Comprehensive Health & Physical Education link or by clicking HERE. Complete details including the slide presentation and videos can be previewed at the school anytime during the school day if you would like to view it. If you do not want your child to participate in the sexual health & responsibility education class or a specific portion of the class, you must bring the signed exemption form (linked HERE) to the front office in person.
