ATTENTION 4^th and 5^th Grade Parents Each year, as part of our health program, we present curriculum on puberty for our 4^th and 5^th grade students. We address the growth and development process, physical and emotional changes during puberty and the increased responsibilities that accompany these important processes. On Monday, April 5^th, from 7p-8p in the Cutler School library, we will host an informational meeting for all three elementary schools, where the parents will have an opportunity to view the videos shown and ask questions. Parents who do not want their child to participate in this program need to send a letter requesting that their child be excused from the classes which will take place after April 5^th.
