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 a parent preview night. During the parent preview night, 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 parent preview session. 6th, 7th, and Biology units are taught in the spring and parents are encouraged to attend the parent preview night.

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.

NPS middle schools will present Sex Education and HIV/AIDS Prevention as multi-week units to allow time for parent-child discussions in between lessons. Science teachers, school counselors, and/or student advocates will teach one lesson each week for the duration of the unit.

The 8th grade Dating Abuse, Consent, and HIV/AIDS prevention unit will be presented in the Fall semester. 7th-grade Reproduction/Birth, Contraceptives, and Parent Responsibilities unit and 6th grade Puberty & Development and AIDS/HIV prevention units will be presented in the Spring semester.
