HEALTH UNIT!!!

ATTENTION PARENTS OF 7-1, 8-1, 8-2

In early February I sent out a consent form home about our upcoming Growth and Development unit (sexual education). The intention of this letter was to stimulate a conversation between you and your child. That way if you had any reservation about your child participating in this unit, you could communicate it. Moving on with the curriculum your child will be participating in this unit with their classmates unless I receive a written request from you.

Thank you for time

Mr. Roy

Added health consent sheet and reflection question

Grade 8's

Look under the 8-1 and 8-2 health class notes tab for the consent form for health class.

Grade 7

Your consent form is under 7-1 health class notes.
