Update to 6th Grade Family Life Education Information Night

Attention all parents of 6th grade students: You are invited to attend a meeting to preview the 6th grade Human Growth & Development lessons and materials and to talk with school staff about the program. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 14 from 5:00pm-7:00pm in the Health Rooms prior to the October PTA meeting.  All program materials and videotapes will be available for your review at that time.

As you may know, parents who do not wish to have 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 form for your child’s grade level which will be available at the meeting on Monday and with all Health/PE teachers, 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. 

Thank You,

Glasgow Middle School Administration and Health/Physical Education Department

Forms can also be obtained from Glasgow’s main office and the website. If you are sure that you will move out of our boundary this summer, please fill out the form, sign, and return to Glasgow Middle School’s Student Services office.  If you do not intend to move this summer, please do not return the form to Glasgow.

Si usted sabe con seguridad que va a cambiar de domicilio y su estudiante ya no vendrá a la escuela Glasgow el próximo año, le pedimos que llene el formulario adjunto y lo devuelva firmado, ya que necesitamos saber el número de estudiantes que asistirán el próximo año a la escuela Glasgow.  Los formularios también pueden ser obtenidos en la oficina central de Glasgow o en nuestra página de internet.  Si no va a cambiar de domicilio, no tiene que llenar el formulario.
