At school Hayden is involved in sports and the Peer Mentoring Program. Outside of school he enjoys participating in sports and fishing. His favorite part of being at the Junior High is being able to spend time with friends. We are proud to have Hayden represent Coloma Junior High

Dear Parent or Guardian,

This letter is to inform you that your son/daughter will begin studying Reproductive Health Education in Health Class on Monday, March 3rd-Friday March 7th (boys) and Monday, March 10th-Friday, March 14th (girls).

Our class will be using a program produced by the Human Relations Media Center called The Puberty Workshop and Curriculum. It is a video and print series that teaches the basics about human development - the role of hormones, the structure and function of the reproductive system for boys and girls, the onset of new feelings and emotions that are part of growing up, taking care of personal hygiene, and an introduction to the topic of HIV and AIDS.

If you would like an opportunity to review the materials used in class, please contact me at the Junior High School at 269-468-2405 and leave a message with the school secretary. I will return your call after school or during my planning period which is the 3rd period of the day. You may also email me at crocca@ccs.coloma.org. I will return your email or call you as soon as possible.

You should also be aware that you are welcome to observe the instruction. If you want your child excused from this instruction, please sign and return the bottom portion of this letter with your child’s name, email me, or write a note to me stating that you would like your child excused. If I do not receive a note asking that your child be excused I will expect that he/she will participate in the instruction. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter please call me at the Coloma Junior High office and leave a message or email me. I will be happy to return your call or email at a convenient time to answer your questions.

Thank you,

Caterina Rocca
