Families of middle school and high school students may preview HIV/STD prevention curriculum for students in grades 6-12, and health and human development materials for students in grades 4 and 5.

The District has adopted the state model, KNOW HIV/STD Prevention, a comprehensive education curriculum widely used by Washington state school districts to fulfill the state’s requirement for providing AIDS education to their students.

Prevention Curriculum Review Night is scheduled for 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Nov. 6 at the Sumner High School library, 1707 Main St., Sumner.

All grade-level curriculum will be available for preview, including videos. This is an opportunity for parents and guardians to understand the health content at each grade level, preview teaching materials and ask questions about the resources used in the classroom.

Parents wishing to exclude their child from the HIV/STD curriculum required by our state must preview this curriculum and sign an exclusion form.
