For 5th Grade Parents!
This year we are partnering with Youth Equipped to Succeed to provide out 5th Grade Human Sexuality/Maturity presentations. Parents can participate in a information session and review of the presentation by joining us on Google Meet on Monday, February 13, 2023 from 6pm-7pm.

The student presentation will occur on March 8th. Parents indicated a preference for their child to attend or not as part of registration. You will be receiving an email by February 22nd, 2023 that will provide you with information about which selection was made at enrollment and provide parents to change their preference if needed.
