Health Standards

Health

The Three Rivers School District is proud to partner with families to develop healthy students. A variety of topics are included in the newest health standards. Students will build skills for health and wellness through age appropriate lessons at each grade level. Families are expected and encouraged to share their values with their children as they relate to health education topics. Families that prefer to teach  some of these topics at home will have the opportunity to opt out of some health lessons. Information on our new standards, curriculum, process, and who to contact with questions is outlined below. Thank you for working with us to support your child's learning.

Adopted Curriculum & Supplemental Resources

The following comprehensive health curriculum materials for K-5 were adopted by the Three Rivers School District Board on February 16, 2022 during regular session:

Elementary Curriculum:

Middle School Curriculum:


State of Oregon Health Standards

Aligned to national standards, Oregon’s health standards and benchmarks support health, wellbeing, and safety of students. The Human Sexuality Education law (2009); the Healthy Teen Relationship Act (2013); and most recently, SB 856 Child Sexual Abuse prevention (2015) collectively contribute to the Oregon Department of Education’s (ODE) Human Sexuality OAR and sexual health benchmarks and standards.

Teacher Guidelines for Handling Sensitive Topics

For sensitive topics, teachers should only address clarifications to the curriculum, not subject matter that extends beyond lesson plans. Questions should be addressed in age-appropriate, medically accurate ways, aligned with the adopted curriculum. Some questions will be referred to counselors or addressed privately, such as when a student discloses information that creates a safety concern.


Opt Out Process

When lessons cover standards that are covered by the Oregon Human Sexuality Law, parents are given prior notice, an opportunity to preview lessons, and an option to opt-out of the lessons for that entire Quarter.  For the 2022-2023 school year, no content in K-8 during Quarter 1 was addressed as part of the Human Sexuality Law.  Therefore, no opt-out forms were sent to parents.  On October 20, 2022, communication was sent via ParentSquare to families of students in grades 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.  The letters are attached below.  Any questions should be directed at the student's teacher or the building principal.  The same process will be used for Quarter 3 and 4 if any content at grades K-8 is covered as part of the Human Sexuality Law.
