FLE encompasses Emotional and Social Health as well as Human Growth and Development (HGD). Emotional and Social Health lessons are delivered throughout the school year. Human Growth and Development lessons are scheduled for fourth grade December 18th and grades five and six the week of December 16-20th. Teachers have scripts for HGD lesson delivery; students are instructed in same gender, same grade level groups.
FLE teaching materials including lessons and media titles that FCPS has streaming rights for are available through ParentVue. FLE information is also available in the Crossfield All Parents/Guardians Schoology course, in the blue FLE folder, including opt out forms. To opt your child(ren) out of one or more lessons printable forms are available in Schoology or electronically through Parent Digital Consent (PDC). Additional information is available through FCPS at https://www.fcps.edu/academics/curriculum/subject-area/family-life-education-fle An alternative non-FLE health instructional program is provided for children who do not take part in FLE instruction, and every effort is made to foster understanding and respect for family choices and to avoid peer pressure for or against participation in the program.
