What this document actually says
This document outlines the health education framework for Reed Union School District, showing what health topics are taught at each grade level from Kindergarten through 8th grade. Topics include nutrition and physical activity, growth and development, injury prevention and safety, mental and emotional health, sexual health (grades 5-8), and substance use education. The framework identifies where each topic is covered (PE class, science, advisory, community time, etc.) and lists specific curriculum resources used, such as Mystery Science, Second Step anti-bullying lessons, Character Strong, Common Sense Media, and various grade-appropriate materials. Health education is delivered across multiple settings including classrooms, PE, special presentations, and school assemblies.
What this means for your family
This shows exactly what health topics your child learns at each grade level and where they learn them.

This helps you know what to expect and discuss at home.
