Parent Information Night
This curriculum begins with a Parent Informmeation Night for parents of students in grades 4-7. This meeting is designed to invite the parents to become actively involved in the moral education of their children, specifically in regards to their sexuality. The curriculum is not designed to be a sex education curriculum because that is the role of the parents. Therefore, the Parent Information Night is geared towards inviting the parents to educate their children on matters of love and sexuality and providing them with tools that can help them in their vocation as parents.
