Comprehensive Sexuality Education:
As part of our health education program, our district provides age appropriate, comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) for all students. All instruction is based on Oregon Law and the Oregon Health Education Standards and Performance Indicators adopted by the Oregon State Board of Education. The focus is on healthy relationships and abuse prevention.
HSD’s Comprehensive Sexuality Education Plan includes the right of parents/guardians to be notified of upcoming sexual health lessons, to review instructional materials, and to propose alternative learning activities for their student(s) if they choose to. We encourage you to learn more about our K-12 Comprehensive Sexuality Plan and teaching materials. To make this as easy as possible, we have posted documents on our Comprehensive Sexuality Education Plan website that outline the standards, curricula, and instructional materials used at each grade-level. (Note: If/when materials cannot be posted online due to copyright restrictions, you may call the school and make an appointment to view them in person.) Parents/guardians have the right to utilize our opt-out process if they wish to have their student(s) participate in alternate activities during sexual health instruction (Opt-Out Form).

From our Counselors:
Counselors are teaching the Naviance Strengths Explorer lesson in ninth grade classes this month. StrengthsExplorer assesses 10 talent themes for individuals and identifies each student’s three strongest emerging talents, such as Confidence, Dependability, or Future Thinker. It provides explanations of these themes, strategies for capitalizing on each, and action items to help students gain insight into their greatest talents – natural patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior – to leverage in the classroom and in life.
National School Counseling Week 2023 is next week! (Feb. 6-10!) This week highlights the essential contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and the tremendous impact they have in helping students achieve school success, develop social-emotional skills and plan for their futures. Please take the opportunity to thank your school counselor(s) and show appreciation for their role in our building work and school climate. They're working tirelessly to implement a comprehensive program in order to reach and support as many students, families, staff and systems as possible. https://www.schoolcounselor.org/getmedia/ba0b10bd-f24c-4ec0-a8e7-91b2d6c26e60/2023-NSCW-Instagram-A.jpg
