6th Grade Health Information for Parents

According to our state Health TEKS we are to cover some Health topics at the middle grades related to sexual health. This is a completely optional unit that requires parent permissions. You can find a link to our state Health TEKS here.

Our school has partnered with Youth Equipped to Succeed (YES) to provide information on relationships and sexual health. Through these programs, students are provided research-based information on how to achieve optimal health and are encouraged to focus on their dreams and goals. You are invited to join us for the Parent Presentation to preview what the students will see and receive tools and strategies for communication with your child.
