  Materials will be available for parents to review

According to information from KSD PIO Robyn Chastain:

 "Kennewick School District nursing staff will provide an HIV/AIDS and growth and development curriculum preview for parents of fifth-graders on Thursday, Oct. 20 at the KSD Administration Center, 1000 W. Fourth Ave.

 A growth and development preview for parents of fourth-grade girls is also planned that night. Fourth-grade boys don’t view the same materials and, instead, have a hygiene lesson.

Parent/guardian attendance at parent previews will be kept and referred to by school staff. Under state law, a parent or guardian must preview the HIV/AIDS prevention materials before their student can be excused from that program."

  Here's the schedule for parents for the information:

Parents of Fifth Grade Boys and Girls

• 5:30 to 6:20 p.m., growth and development (separate boys and girls curriculum preview presentations)
• 6:30 to 7:20 p.m., HIV/AIDS prevention

Parents of Fourth Grade Girls:

• 6:30 to 7:20 p.m., growth and development (girls curriculum only)
