Health Education - Family Life & Human Sexuality Unit Information
FAMILY LIFE AND HUMAN SEXUALITY (FLHS) UNIT FOR HEALTH EDUCATION INSTRUCTION
Grade 7 and Grade 8 students are scheduled to take a comprehensive health education unit on Family Life and Human Sexuality (FLHS). Instruction in this unit is designed to help students develop a foundation for making responsible choices that reflect respect for the individual and for others in the family and community. Due to the sensitive nature of this instruction, as directed by Maryland State Regulations (COMAR 13A.04.18.01), “students may be excused from this unit of the program upon a written request from their parents/guardians”.
If you would like to opt your student out of the FLHS unit of instruction, please complete the Opt-Out Request form and return it to Ms. Katie Becker (Katie_E_Becker@mcpsmd.org) no later than Wednesday, September 27, 2023. If this form is not returned, your student will receive instruction on FLHS. Thank you for your cooperation.
