Livonia Public Schools Parent/Guardian Human Growth Informational Meeting for 5th and 6th Grade
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Livonia Public Schools has established a program of instruction, for students, which includes HIV/AIDS, serious communicable disease prevention education, and sexuality education. (Please note: not all of the above mentioned content is taught in 5th grade.)
According to Michigan law, you have the right to review the materials and curriculum content to be used in the unit. Therefore, you are invited to attend a meeting to review the curriculum on Thursday, February 22nd at 6 p.m. in the Cooper L.M.C. (library).
This meeting is scheduled prior to the start of instruction so you can determine whether you will give approval for your child’s participation. Parents and guardians may exclude their children from all or portions of this unit of study without penalty. Participation permission slips will be going home shortly after the February 22nd meeting.
ALL students MUST return the note to their teacher stating whether they will be opting in or opting out of the unit. We will not assume that your child is opting out simply because they did not return a note. We need to have a note from every student.
In addition, each teacher will be, individually, scheduling the dates for the unit to be taught for your child’s class. Your child’s teacher will inform you of the date the unit will begin.
Sincerely,
Shalonda Owens
