FAMILY
LIFE EDUCATION Family Life Education is a 7-week course taught to 5th graders by specially trained public health nurses. The focus is to prepare students for the changes of adolescence. Schools contract with the health department for this course. A parent meeting is held before classes begin so that parents can ask questions and become familiar with the program. The curriculum includes discussion of typical changes of puberty, reproduction, the student’s role in his or her family. Appropriate communication with parents and other trusted adults is encouraged so that students will be able to share concerns and ask questions about their changing bodies. Controversial questions are referred back to the student’s parent or other trusted adult. To encourage positive health choices, the course emphasizes
that every choice a person makes has a consequence and that students
need to become responsible for their own health. |

SCHOOL
and DAYCARE SAFETY AND SANITATION Next to the home, the school environment is the most influential factor in a child's development. Even though the teacher may be the most influential person in the school system in shaping the development of the child, it is the total environment which establishes conditions, conducive or detrimental, to this development. The goal of this program is to provide a mechanism that assures the upgrading and maintenance of optimum environmental health and safety standards.
