Dear 6th grade Parent or Guardian,

This information can be helpful for children to learn about and discuss the physical and emotional changes occurring in the body during puberty. Use the links below to access the resources pertaining to Human Growth and Development. The resources in this document will be presented in the classroom setting. Students may participate only with signed permission. Should you choose not to have your child participate in viewing the resources at school, you can choose to view them at home with your child. You will be receiving communications from your school about the dates and times this information will be presented in the classroom.
