Parents who do not their children participate in Human Growth and Development instruction may choose to opt their children out of any or all of the lessons. If you would like to opt your child out of one or more of these lessons, please fill out the opt-out form for your child’s grade level and return it to your child’s teacher. If you have already indicated your desire to opt your child out of the HGD lessons by using the form sent home earlier in the school year, you do not need to return this form. Please visit the website http://www.fcps.edu/is/hpe/fle.shtml for additional information and copies of the FLE opt-out forms.

We look forward to working as your partner in providing information that will help your child make healthy choices as he/she experiences the exciting changes and new challenges that occur during the middle school years.
