Good Afternoon 4th – 6th Grade Families,

Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth grade classes will be teaching Adolescent Growth Education (A.G.E.)
during the upcoming third or fourth quarter.

The purpose of this program is to provide students with information about:
Fourth Grade: bullying, the social, emotional, and physical changes of puberty, and menstruation.
Fifth Grade: developing self-esteem, being clear with friends through decision-making, boundaries
(harassment and abuse), and changes that occur during puberty.
Sixth Grade: changes in adolescent bodies which occur during puberty, the reproductive systems, and
boundaries.

The knowledge acquired from A.G.E. will allow children to receive age-appropriate information regarding adolescence while they develop the confidence and self-respect necessary to choose a healthy lifestyle.

While your child learns A.G.E., you are encouraged to set aside a special time to discuss these important
topics with your child at home.

Parents/Caregivers will be invited to preview the A.G.E. curriculum and videos at District-hosted Parent
Preview Nights. Parent Preview Nights will be held online on the following dates:

Fourth Grade: Tuesday, January 30th from 6:00 -7:30 pm
Fifth Grade: Wednesday, January 31st from 6:00-7:30 pm
Sixth Grade: Thursday, February 1st from 6:00-7:30 pm
