GRADE 5 - PUBERTY EDUCATION
Dear 5th Grade Parent/Guardians,
On May 19th and 26th, Sheffield & Gill Elementary 5th grade students will participate in a Puberty Education unit. This Introductory program will be taught by the school nurses. During this unit, students will learn about the:
-
Physical changes that happen during puberty
-
Female and male reproductive systems
-
Menstrual cycle/Spermatogenesis
-
Personal Hygiene
-
Social/emotional changes during puberty.
The resources will be presented in a classroom setting using both a PowerPoint presentation as well as interactive instruction. We teach students research based information and facts; we do not teach our values or beliefs surrounding these topics. We encourage you to talk to your students at home about what they are learning.
If you would like to view the Puberty Education Program or have questions, the Health Office at Sheffield will be open at the start of of the GMRSD Family Math Night on April 26 from 5:30-6:30 pm or you can call Billie Gammell, RN BSN, at 413-863-7441.
