Family Life Education Instruction (FLE) April 6-16:

Family Life Education instruction is scheduled for April 6-16 after students return from spring break. Instruction is seen as a partnership among parents and guardians, the school, and the community in supporting the learning essential to the development of strong families, positive relationships, and a healthy community.

Parents/guardians may choose to opt their child out of all or part of the Family Life Education program.  Students who are opted out are provided with age-appropriate, nonpunitive alternative health instruction, and every effort is made to foster respect for family choices.  If you wish to opt your child out of all or part of FLE for this school year, an opt out form is included in this mailing and is also available online for Middle School (grades 7-8) https://www.fcps.edu/academics/middle-school-academics-7-8/family-life-education-fle If you wish to opt your child out of FLE, please fill in the opt-out form and return it to Liberty Middle School on or before March 26, 2021. You may email your opt out request to JSCarnahan@fcps.edu

Detailed grade-level program descriptions are available online at Middle School (7-8). FLE grade level-specific lessons and media that FCPS has streaming rights for are available for parents online in FCPS 24-7 (Blackboard) Parent View https://fcps.blackboard.com/.  Account information is available at your local school or online at http://www.fcps.edu/is/instructionaltechnology/247help/parents.shtml.
