8th Grade Amplify Youth Development Information
The eighth
grade health students will be participating in an abstinence-based curricular
unit about reproductive wellness during their health education class. Part of this education experience will
include a program entitled Amplify
Youth Development.
This program is an extension of the health curriculum which covers topics such
as: sexual health, decision-making, abstinence, sexually transmitted diseases,
teen pregnancy, and how alcohol and drugs affect behavior and judgment. The
curriculum objectives are all aligned with State and National Health Education
Standards. Please review the Amplify Curriculum information on the
reverse side of this letter for further explanation about the Amplify Program.
We are utilizing the Amplify Program as one of the sources of information to help our students understand the importance of good decision-making and reproductive health. All of the Amplify classes will be facilitated by Amplify staff members and will be conducted through your child’s Health class while their health education teacher is present.
We believe this program will be most successful if the students have the opportunity to share what they have learned with their parents, while parents can also share their own knowledge and values with their children.
Gregory Middle School Parents were invited to attend a special parent preview of this program Monday, September 16, 2013 from 6:00-7:00pm
