The Growth and Developmental Changes Presentation
Dear Parent(s) or Guardian(s),
West Central 4th grade students will be given the opportunity to participate in a puberty education program called Growth and Developmental Changes. The videos talk about the normal changes the body goes through during puberty. Boys will be shown the boys section of the video only and the girls will be shown the girls section only. After the video, Mrs. Torrance may answer questions and talk to the students about hygiene. Due to the topic being discussed, we are obtaining parental permission prior to having your child participate in these informational sessions. Please mark your choice below and return the bottom portion of the form by December 13th with your signature.
In order to make an informed decision, we are providing the links to the videos that will be used as a part of the presentation:
