Our units are appropriate to the age, maturity, growth and development of students at each grade level. Parents and guardians are welcome to peruse our curriculum, texts, pamphlets, and the materials used in teaching this unit.

Under the N.J. State Department mandate, parents/guardians have the right to exclude their children from any part of the family life or H.I.V./AIDS instruction if it is in conflict with his/her conscience or sincerely held moral or religious beliefs, via a signed statement to the school principal.
