    Talking to Your Child or Teen At Home

    Did you know? In a national survey, teens reported that their parents have the greatest influence on their decisions about sex, more than friends, siblings or other media. Check out the resources below for more information about topics to discuss with your child or teen at different ages, books and websites to help with your conversations and how to be an “Askable” parent or caregiver.

  • Parent/Caregiver Notification & Rights

    Parents and guardians are notified that their child will be receiving comprehensive sexual health education at least two weeks prior to the start of instruction.

     

    Parents and guardians have the right to opt their child out of instruction by writing a note or email to their child’s teacher.

     

    Parents and guardians can view all sexual health materials by arranging a preview with their child’s teacher or with the Teacher on Special Assignment for Sexual Health Education for the District, Kelly Katie-Hankin.
