The Department of Education allows public school students to choose not to participate in certain experiments involving animals in our Science Program. In addition, parents or guardians who believe that any part of our Health or Family Life curriculum is in conflict with their conscience or sincerely-held moral or religious beliefs may have their child excused from that portion of the course. Such requests for opt-out must be sent in writing to your child's building principal. There will be no penalties as to grade, credit or graduation. The letters linked below provide more specific information.
