Fourth and fifth grade students are going to have an important lesson on the early stages of puberty which some students may be beginning to experience. The lessons will be conducted separately for boys and girls. Only students whose parents have opted in will be included in this lesson. All other students will continue with a normal specials class.
The students will view the videos listed below. After viewing the video, students will have the opportunity to submit anonymous questions. The presenters will answer appropriate questions within the scope of the video.
These videos will be available online for families to view towards the end of February.
