In what grades do students learn about Sexual Education and Disease Prevention?

HIV/AIDS and Disease Prevention must be taught to all students in grades 5-12 each year.

What instructional materials do we use to teach Sexual Education (Reproductive Health) and HIV/ AIDS & Disease Prevention?
Edmonds School District teachers use the KNOW program to teach students about HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, and their prevention. We use the Family Life and Sexual Health (FLASH) program to teach about the reproductive system, growth and development, and conception. Both programs are based on medically accurate, developmentally appropriate information and are state-approved instructional materials.

How can families review the curriculum and determine participation?

The Edmonds School District adheres to the Guidelines for Sexual Health Information and Disease Prevention authored by the Washington State Department of Health and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, January 2005. These guidelines include the following characteristics:

  • Use information and materials that are medically and scientifically accurate and objective.
  • Encourage and improve communication, especially around growth and development, with parents/guardians and other trusted adults.
  • Enlighten young people to develop and apply health-promoting behaviors.
  • Provide information about sexual anatomy and physiology and the stages, patterns, and responsibilities associated with growth and development.
  • Promote the development of intrapersonal and interpersonal skills including a sense of dignity and self-worth and the communication, decision-making, assertiveness and refusal skills necessary to reduce health risks and choose healthy behaviors.
  • Recognize and respect people with differing personal and family values.
  • Promote healthy self-esteem, positive body image, good self-care, respect for others, caring for family and friends and a responsibility to community.
  • Teach youth that learning about their sexuality will be a lifelong process as their needs and circumstances change.
  • Encourage community support and reinforcement of key messages by other adults and information sources.
