DAG HAMMARSKJOLD MIDDLE SCHOOL
6th GRADE HEALTH
Dear Parent(s) or Guardian(s) of: _________________________________
Each year our middle school students are given the opportunity to
participate in a Family Life and Human Development program as part of
their health curriculum. The primary goals of this program are to work
in partnership with you, the parents, to provide your child with valid and
reliable information, skills, and an understanding of their reproductive
health which will help him/her to make responsible choices.
We know the parent is the most important and influential person
for the young adult. We hope that you will take the opportunity to
discuss with your child the topics we are learning about in Family Life
and Human Development. The topics are as follows:
Physical, Emotional, and Social changes during Puberty
Personal Hygiene
Communication
Responsibility for Personal Health Behaviors
Please do not hesitate the call us if you have any questions or concerns
about this program. We can be reached at (203)294-3700. Thank you.
**PLEASE SIGN THE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE FOR YOUR CHILD**
