    Dear Parents/Guardians of Health students:

     

    I wanted to let you know about the upcoming unit, Human Growth and Development (Sex Ed) that I will be teaching in Health class. We will start the unit beginning May 9th through June 16th.

     

    The information that will be presented is an “abstinence-based” state approved curriculum.

    The following topics will be covered:

     
    · Abstinence
    · Healthy Relationships and Dating
    · Gender Stereotypes
    · Reproductive Anatomy
    · Menstrual Cycle and Pregnancy
    · Contraceptives (no demonstrating and no passing samples around)
    · Sexually Transmitted Diseases and HIV/AIDS education
    · Pregnancy


     

    If time permits students will be watching one video during the unit. The video is called Blood Lines, which is a documentary regarding HIV and AIDS and is a district and state approved video.

     

    If you wish that your son/daughter be dismissed from class during any section of the curriculum, you have the option to opt out. In order to opt out, State law and District policy states, you must first review the curriculum and then fill out the form below. The form below must be returned by this Friday, May 9, 2014 and no later. If you decide to have your student opt out of our Human Growth unit, I will make arrangements for him/her to be in the library during that time and they will be assigned an alternative assignment. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call me at 425-385-4502 or email me at cgudgeon@everettsd.org. Thank you.

     

     

    Sincerely,

     

    Corie Gudgeon
