NOTICE OF HIV/AIDS PREVENTION EDUCATION CLASS
Dear Parent/Legal Guardian:
In response to the growing threat of HIV to our population, the 1988 Washington State Legislature mandated that a program of prevention education be presented to student’s yearly, beginning with the 5th grade. The Sequim School District #323 has adopted an appropriate program for HIV/AIDS education with the advice of educators, parents, and community members.
Greywolf Elementary School 5th graders will be attending an HIV/AIDS education class on Friday, May 24th. The class will be taught the last hour of the day, 2:00 - 3:00pm. Boys and girls will be taught in separate classrooms.
Two parent preview meetings were held last October to allow parents to preview the curriculum.
STATE LAW PROVIDES THAT A PARENT OR GUARDIAN MUST ATTEND SUCH A MEETING BEFORE THEY CAN HAVE THEIR CHILD OR LEGAL WARD EXCUSED FROM PARTICIPATION IN THE HIV PREVENTION PROGRAM.
If you have any questions, please call Sonja Bittner, School Nurse at 360-477-7728.
