Dear Hackensack Families,

We are excited to welcome you and your child(ren) back to school! As a means of supporting the New Jersey Health and Physical education standards and goals to educate and empower students in areas that are often linked with confusion and misinformation, the District has adopted the use of 美体小铺, an informative resource that will help to focus on the work and discussions for the class, while providing students with much needed information. While we acknowledge that some topics may be awkward for students, parents, and guardians, our highly qualified and certified staff will approach all topics with respect and consideration of our community’s values.

Our 课程 and Physical Education & Health leaders would like to encourage families to review this link 哈肯萨克健康课程更新. Here you can find details about the standards, district curriculum, and resources that are available. You can find links to previous presentations and a recording of a parents' meeting that was previously held to address concerns and questions. 如果您在查看信息后有任何疑问，请与我们联系，我们将回答您的任何问题。

如果您决定让您的孩子免修部分基础健康课程，请遵循以下步骤。 First, send a letter to your child's principal stating your intent to opt out of health/sex education/family life instruction. 期待收到社会研究、体育和健康主管Acebo夫人的电话，解释下一步，并回答您可能有的任何问题或疑虑。 Finally, if you still want to use your opt-out rights, review the forms below, to choose the specific lessons your child will not be participating in and return the form to your child's Principal and Mrs. Acebo. 请注意你必须每年完成这个过程。 如果你以前选择退出健康课程，你必须在本学年再次填写此表格。

不上健康课的学生将受到监督，并被要求参加教学活动。 在此期间，小学生将被分配到与其年级水平相同的另一个班级。 初高中学生将被分配额外的体育课时，并将到健身房报到。 根据N.J.S.A. 18A:35-4.7的规定，如果家长向校长提交一份签名声明，说明健康、家庭生活教育或性教育的任何部分与他/她的良心或真诚的道德或宗教信仰相冲突，任何学生都可以免除该部分课程的授课，并且不会受到学分或毕业的处罚。

我们重视与哈肯萨克家庭合作的重要性，因为我们教育学生他们需要的知识和技能，以过上健康、安全和积极的生活。

真诚地,
