Family Life Education 5 & 7

OGSD Philosophy 

It is the philosophy of the Oak Grove School District that Family Life Education is primarily the responsibility of the parents. We believe, however, that our schools play a vital role by giving both the students and parents resources and a foundation of mutual interest that will help open the door to honest and sincere communication. Comprehensive Sexual Education is only one part of a Family Life Education Program. What a child knows at any particular age is not so important as how they feel  about what they  know.  Parents and teachers want children to feel they can turn to them with questions and confusions, confident that they will be given truthful and meaningful answers.


Comprehensive Sexual Health Education

California Healthy Youth Act

The California Healthy Youth Act has five primary purposes:

  • To provide pupils with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect their sexual and reproductive health from HIV and other sexually transmitted infections and from unintended pregnancy;

  • To provide pupils with the knowledge and skills they need to develop healthy attitudes concerning adolescent growth and development, body image, gender, sexual orientation, relationships, marriage, and family;

  • To promote understanding of sexuality as a normal part of human development;

  • To ensure pupils receive integrated, comprehensive, accurate, and unbiased sexual health and HIV prevention instruction and provide educators with clear tools and guidance to accomplish that end;

  • To provide pupils with the knowledge and skills necessary to have healthy, positive, and safe relationships and behaviors
