 * First Day of School Parent Letter**

Dear Parents, Welcome to third grade! I hope you have had an enjoyable summer with your family. I am looking forward to an exciting ten months getting to know your child. My twenty-one years as an educator have taught me communication between parents and school staff is just as important as the learning process. I will need your cooperation in order to make your child’s transition from home to school successful everyday. Please voice your concerns to me as soon as they come up. I will be sure to communicate mine with you. I would also like to know of any changes going on at home, which might affect your child’s behavior. A parent leaving on a business trip, illness, visiting relatives or a nightmare may show up in the classroom as tantrums, tears, excitement or sadness. I can best help your child adjust if I know why he or she is feeling out of sorts.The best way to inform me would be a note in my mailbox or a message on my voicemail. I urge you not to talk in front of your child or try to speak to me during the morning rush. If you need to speak to me in person, please schedule an appointment either before or after school. This way we can focus on the issue at hand.Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Our partnership will go a long way in sending a positive message to your child. I have taken this opportunity to provide you with some important and helpful information on the back. Please post it in a convenient location!

Dear Parents:

Florida Statute 1003.42 requires instruction in Human Sexuality Education as part of a Comprehensive Health

Education Program. The School Board of Broward County, Florida, has authorized teaching Family Life/Human

Sexuality and HIV/AIDS Prevention as a component of Health Education to meet this legislative mandate.

The kindergarten through fifth grade Family Life/Human Sexuality Curriculum has been carefully written by a team

of teachers and was reviewed by parents, teachers, students, administrators and members of the community.

In grades two through four, there are one or two lessons that deal specifically with HIV/AIDS. These lessons

emphasize what activities do not transmit the virus and the need to show compassion for people who are sick. In the

fifth grade, there is one lesson that describes how the virus is transmitted.

The Broward County School District respects your parental rights and your role in presenting information in this

sensitive and delicate area. If you choose to have your child participate, please complete the form below and return

it to the school. If you choose not to complete the form below, your child will then be scheduled into an alternative

assignment during the Family Life/Human Sexuality unit and/or the HIV/AIDS Prevention lessons.

We appreciate your interest and cooperation in the implementation of our Comprehensive Health Education

Program.

Sincerely,

Principal
