Dear Parents and Guardians,
As part of our ongoing efforts to foster a school climate of respect, and as
part of our middle school health curriculum, we will begin a unit of
Family Life and Sexual Health (F.L.A.S.H.) during the third quarter.
If you decide not to have your child participate in the unit, or in particular
lessons, please return the waiver form back to your health teacher at
school. You are welcome to contact the school to preview the lessons in
this unit in person or online at:
www.kingcounty.gov/healthservices/health/personal/famplan/educator
s/FLASH.aspx
Please understand that only specific District 62 Board of Education
approved lessons will be taught.
6th Grade Lessons: 1, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18
7th Grade Lessons: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
8th Grade Lessons: 1, 4, 5, 16, 21, 23, 24
We want to encourage you to discuss the issue at home too. Your child
may bring home “family homework exercises” to do with an adult family
member. These assignments are strictly optional. They are also
confidential; students will NOT be asked to report back what you have
discussed. The purpose of these assignments is simply to give you a
chance to communicate with one another. If more than one adult in the
family wants to participate in these exercises, that’s great. You may want
to take turns so the student gets special time with each adult.
Please give your student’s physical education teacher a call at 847-8241503 if you have any questions. We would be glad to discuss the
philosophy of the curriculum with you.
Sincerely,
Leah Kimmelman
Principal
Chippewa Middle School
