Welcome to our comprehensive Sex Education and HIV/AIDS Prevention Program website, where education empowers families to make informed and healthy choices. Our goal is to provide accurate, inclusive, and accessible information that fosters understanding and awareness about sexual health, HIV/AIDS prevention, and the importance of consent and respect in relationships.

Sexual Health education is being taught by science teachers, counselors, and/or student advocates to 6th, 7th , and 8th grade students unless a parent opts their student out.

HIV/AIDS Prevention is taught to 6th grade, 8th grade, and high school biology students unless a parent opts their student out.

Parents have the right to be informed about the programs taught to their children. Our district will host two parent preview nights. During the parent preview nights, certified teachers and our district Science Coordinator provide an overview of the curriculum, and parents are given the opportunity to ask questions about our sex education and HIV/AIDS Prevention curriculum. Since 8th grade sex education & AIDS/HIV lessons will be taught in the fall semester, parents should plan to attend the fall preview session. 6th, 7th, and Biology units are taught in the spring and parents are encouraged to attend either session. Dates and times of our parent preview nights are listed below.

Fall Preview: September 9, 2025 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Location: Nancy O'Brian Performing Arts Center Conference Rooms, 1809 Stubbeman Av.

Spring Preview: January 28, 2026 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Location: Administrative Services Center, 131 S. Flood Ave.

If you are unable to attend a parent preview night, curriculum overviews are available below for your review. Parents and guardians may also request to review the full curriculum with our NPS Science Coordinator, Jaime Bagg, by emailing jbagg2@normanps.org.

This year, in our middle schools, we will be presenting information on Sex Education and HIV/AIDS Prevention as a multi-week unit, rather than one week, as we have done in the past. Science teachers, school counselors, and/or student advocates will teach one lesson each week for the duration of the unit.

The 8th grade sex education and AIDS/HIV unit will be presented in the Fall semester. 7th grade grade sex education and 6th grade puberty & development and AIDS/HIV prevention units will be presented in the Spring semester.

If parents or guardians do not want their child to participate in some or all of the sex education and/or HIV/AIDS prevention lessons, they can choose to opt their child out by completing the form linked below.

Students who do not participate will be given an alternative assignment in an alternative location.
