5th Grade Parents
Dear Parents & Guardians,
Anna ISD regards parents/guardians of children as the first and primary teachers. This is especially the case in regard to spiritual, moral, and sex education. Sexuality education is the parent/guardian’s right and responsibility; by law, our role as educators through the teaching of courses such as health and other science disciplines is to provide instruction specific to human sexuality.
In response to Senate Bill 283, Anna ISD is providing written notice of our intent to provide human sexuality instruction to students who during registration opted in to program participation.
Anna ISD will utilize the 180 Degrees Sexual Education Program for grades 5-12, appropriate for each age level. Due to the sensitive nature of the program, parents have the opportunity to attend a parent preview/information night prior to the student presentation.
The parent presentation will be held on Monday, February 20th at the Anna High School Assembly Hall.
Elementary Presentation 6:00-6:30pm
Secondary Presentation 6:30-7:00pm
Campus Student Presentation: Thursday, March 2 1:15-2:45pm
Parents can find more information about any instructional materials regarding Human Sexuality by accessing https://180degreestx.com/parent-page-1.
Sincerely,
Todd Frazier
