Students are required to take one semester (0.5 credit) of health to graduate from high school. This course requirement cannot be waived. In accordance with state law, health courses include comprehensive sexual health education. However, parents and guardians can choose to opt out their high schooler from some or all of this instruction.

High school comprehensive sexual health education is given primarily in health courses, but the state also requires a second round of instruction. The second round is taught as part of PE 2 or PE 2-equivalent courses.

• One-page document of topics that are taught each day

• Complete list of what is taught and when

• If your high schooler will participate:

  If your high schooler will participate in all the comprehensive sexual health lessons, you do not need to take any action.

• Opting out your high schooler:

  If after reviewing the curriculum you want to opt out your high schooler from receiving some or all of the comprehensive sexual health instruction, please complete the opt-out form located in Skyward. Get directions for opting out or editing your selection.

  You must opt out your child for each course, even if you have opted them out in the past. Students who are opted out of these lessons will be given an alternate, required health assignment.
