Term 3 Health Letter -PLEASE READ
March 28, 2024
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Health Education is an integral part of the educational experience here at Littleton Middle School. The course provides cognitive information and behavioral skills necessary for students to deal with various life situations, choices and consequences. During term 3 students will learn information about the physical, emotional, and social changes all young people experience while developing during puberty. All lessons will be co-ed and taught during the students regularly scheduled health class. Information will be presented in a balanced, age appropriate, factual way respecting each student. The following topics will be addressed during term 3.
Grade 6 students will be presented with a lesson on Maturation/Puberty. Students will receive the booklet Who Knew? The Growing Up Issue . This booklet addresses the physical, emotional and social changes that take place during puberty. This lesson will be presented mid May.
Grade 7 students will review what happens during puberty while focusing on the The Endocrine System and learning about the male and female reproductive systems. These lessons will be mid May.
Grade 8 students will learn about HIV/AIDS during the upcoming disease unit and then will have a lesson about Relationships. Abstinence will continuously be stressed. These lessons will be presented in April.
Please continue to check the weekend update to learn when exactly these lessons will be presented. You are also encouraged to check the health website http://healthatlms.blogspot.com
Under the Massachusetts law and School Committee policy, you may exempt your child from any portion of the human sexuality unit of the curriculum. No student who is exempt from this portion of the curriculum will be penalized. Please email me at tbuonacore@littletonps.org if you would like to excuse your child from any portion of the curriculum.
I look forward to working with you to ensure that your child has a positive Health Education experience.
Sincerely,
Tricia A. Buonacore
