Dear Parents/Guardians of 10th Graders:
During the 2014-2015 school year your son/daughter will study a Human Sexuality Unit as part of the 10th Grade Health Curriculum. We feel this is a very important and worthwhile unit for our students especially since tenth grade is the final year for health curriculum at Neshaminy.
The unit is designed to be comprehensive in nature and to complement lessons received in the 8th grade Health Education Unit. Abstinence (postponing sexual intercourse) is stressed throughout the unit while providing students accurate, up to date information about this complex portion of their lives.
We encourage you to review our unit content outline on the back of this sheet. We believe that parents are the primary sexuality educators with their children. Whenever possible, we hope you will initiate conversations with your children to discuss your family’s values and attitudes on these topics. If you have any questions about the unit please contact your son’s/daughter’s health teacher or the individuals listed below. Should you wish to have your child excluded from any portion of this unit, you need to contract your son’s/daughter’s health teacher or the Department Chairperson in writing.
Mrs. Amy Geruc Mrs. Jan King
