In support of healthy development of our student body and to reach health standards required by our school district we will have guest professionals from the R.E.C. Room of Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic’s Peer Education team cover the Comprehensive Sexual Health lessons on October 31st - November 4th, 2022. KBFPC was founded in Homer in 1983 as an independent organization and is not a part of any national organization. The lesson package offers a comprehensive approach to Sexual Health and Wellness, covering topics on healthy relationship skills, changes during puberty, sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy prevention (abstinence and contraceptive methods such as condom use), sexual identity, communication (negotiation/delay/refusal skills), and decision making based on body regulation techniques and understanding of adolescent brain development.

The KPBSD curriculum offered to our students is informative and valuable. All of the students will be asked to do a homework assignment with a safe adult such as parent/guardian to explore current topics, family values and create an opportunity for important personal dialogue. You as a parent/guardian, are clearly important in your teen’s education, and we want you to be involved. Statistics show that students who have been exposed to a comprehensive sexual education program and who have a safe and trusted adult to talk to about their sexual health are more apt to make better decisions in regards to delaying sexual activity and be less likely to become a teen parent.

If you have specific questions, thoughts, or concerns you can call the school at 907-235-5700.
