Maturation

Dear 5th Grade Parents,

A component of the 5th grade Utah Core Curriculum is Health Education, including instruction to help students understand the social, emotional, intellectual and physical changes that occur during puberty. A school team, composed of teachers, administrators, and related service providers (such as the nurse or counselor) have prepared a program of instruction for the 5th grade students. The instruction will occur on November 6 at 1 PM. The instruction will take place in the Gym for the boys and in Library for the girls. 

Parental consent is required by Utah statute for students to receive maturation instruction (R277-474-5). Please carefully read the parental consent form, l (English and Spanish), then click HERE to sign. If you would like to be present for the instruction, please indicate.

Below are links to videos that will serve as a primary pillar of instruction for the students. There are also links to the questions the instructors will use to review the instruction. We encourage you to watch the videos beforehand with your child and then engage in whatever discussion you feel is appropriate. The instruction at school can then reinforce the content you’ve already introduced to your child.
