Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) offers a comprehensive Family Life Education (FLE) program. FLE instruction begins in kindergarten and continues through grade12. FLE includes topics in social and emotional health, and human growth and development (starting in grade 4). FLE instruction helps students gain knowledge and skills needed to make healthy, responsible, and life-enhancing decisions related to relationships and their physical, emotional, and social health. Parents and guardians are partners in their child’s learning. FLE instruction supports the development of strong families, positive relationships, and a healthy community.
Parents and guardians can review FLE materials. Parents/guardians can access FLE lessons in Schoology using their SIS username and password. We also invite you to come to school on November 12, between 4-5pm to receive assistance in accessing the lessons online and to ask any questions. If this time does not work for you, contact our School-based Technology Specialist, Christie Fecko, at cemainesfeck@fcps.edu to arrange another time. Due to copyright permissions, we are unable to stream all media titles online.
To foster respect for family choices, parents/guardians may choose to opt their child out of all or part of the Family Life Education program. A student who is opted out will receive alternative health instruction. To opt your child out of all or part of the FLE program for this school year, please complete the digital opt-out form. This is available through October 31. Prior to the teaching of Human Growth in Development in grades 4-6 during the first week in December, we will send out an opt-out form specific to these lessons. You do not need to complete the opt-out form, digital or printed, if you wish for your child to take part in FLE instruction.
FLE program descriptions are available on the FCPS website. https://www.fcps.edu/academics/elementary-school-academics-k-6/elementary-family-life-education
For information about when FLE instruction will take place, please contact your child’s teacher or school. For questions about the FLE program, please contact Instructional Services at 571-423-4550 or email fle@fcps.edu.
