    Sex Education is a required unit for all 7th grade students here at Parks Jr. High and will be taught during Health Class.  It will be the last unit covered in each semester which means the unit will begin in November during 1st Semester and April during 2nd Semester.  At that time, parents will be able to Opt Out their child if they feel uncomfortable with the unit or specific lessons.  Mr. Sonny will notify parents before the unit begins and will also be sending home a paper that will let the parents know the exact date of when the Sex Ed Unit will begin.  Information will also be sent out in regards to the videos that will be shown and a video from Mr. Sonny going over the lessons and frequently asked questions by parents.
