Kyrene School District is near the end of a 60 day review process of adapted lessons from the “Worth the Wait” program for use with 7th grade for the 2011-2012 school year. These lessons support instruction of the Kyrene Expanded Health Curriculum Strand 9 (Growth & Development) and Strand 10 (HIV/AIDS/STIs). If these lessons are approved by the Kyrene Governing Board, trained instructors from Pima Prevention Partnership will deliver the instruction to seventh graders during the spring of 2012. As a reminder, parents must provide written permission for students to participate in these lessons. Alternate lessons are provided for those students whose parents choose for them not to participate.
All resources for the lessons and activities used during instruction are available for viewing during regular business hours at the Kyrene District Office, Curriculum and Learning Services Department until Tuesday January 3, 2012. Special evening viewing hours will be held on Tuesday, December 6 from 5-7 PM before the Kyrene Governing Board meeting and Wednesday 4-6 PM before the Traditional School parent meeting. Parents, teachers, and community members are encouraged to view and provide feedback related to the lessons. The feedback will be reviewed by the Kyrene Health Steering Committee and the Kyrene Governing Board. For questions please contact Moira Turner 480-783-4118 or mturne@kyrene.org
