CKSD provides Comprehensive Sexual Health Education (CSHE) yearly for students in grades 5-8 & 10-12. Students in grade 9 receive a comprehensive health program in a semester-long health course.
Each year, parents/guardians are given 30 days notice prior to the lessons being delivered and must opt their child in or out of CSHE lessons. Digital permission will be sent by schools via ParentSquare. Permission forms may also be printed from the district website and your child can return it to the main office at their school.
Current Resource - In 2020, the CKSD School Board approved Comprehensive Health by Goodheart-Wilcox as the core resource for the semester-long health course. This resource will be up for review in school year 2027-28.

Starting in 2023, all school districts in WA must be in compliance with state requirements for Human Growth and Development (HG&D) and HIV instructional programs: Comprehensive Sexual Health Education (CSHE). On October 12, 2022, the CKSD School Board held a Study Session which provided information about our program. Here is the presentation which answers many frequently asked questions. The grade level content, linked above, was updated in the spring of 2023, including revisions based on feedback from staff and families, and the lessons are in alignment with the CSHE legislative requirements.
