Accessing Family Life Education Materials (FLE)

4th-6th grade classes will be participating in Family Life Education (FLE) lessons beginning in December. (Be on the look out for communication from teachers regarding this shortly).

For your convenience, the lessons and materials are available for families to view at your own pace on the All Parents/Guardians: Olde Creek Elementary School Schoology Course. Detailed instructions on how to access these materials can be found liked here.

Additionally, the Woodson Pyramid will be hosting a Parent Preview Night for FLE on Wednesday, December 4th from 5:30-6:00PM. This event provides an opportunity to ask questions and receive assistance in accessing the materials virtually.
