Family Life Education
Dear Families,
The Family Life Education team will be at our school to work with our students on January 8th and 9th. A copy of the Parent Resource Guide is available on the HCPS website.
Please note that families who wish to opt their child out of Family Life Education must complete the online opt-out form. By completing this opt-out form, you are requesting to opt your child out of Family Life Education for the 2023-24 school year. If you have any questions, we encourage you to join our live parent sessions with our Family Life Education teachers, which will be on October 23rd. The links for the sessions are listed below. Finally, the curriculum for Family Life Education is available in the digital opt-out form.
Again, if you have any questions, please reach out to Rose Payne at rpayne@hcps.us or Ian Squires at isquires@hcps.us.
