Sex Education Exemption Letter

Dear Parent/Guardian:

A goal of Greenville County Schools is to provide parents/guardians with information to help make decisions regarding the sexual health & responsibility education of your child. As a part of the PE curriculum, there is a sexual health & responsibility component that satisfies the state law to provide students comprehensive health education at least one time during HS. Complete details of the district’s age appropriate, abstinence-based sexual health & responsibility education curriculum can be found in any school’s media center or in the Health Education Suite located at MT Anderson or a summarized version can be found below: High School Comprehensive Health & Responsibility Curriculum

If you do not want your child to participate in the sexual health & responsibility education component or a specific portion of it, you must bring the signed exemption form to Southside High School in person. The last day to submit this form is Tuesday, January 27. The unit will begin on Friday, January 30.  Please contact your student's PE/ROTC teacher if you have any questions or comments.
