Health and Physical Education

In Forsyth County, the Health and Physical Education Standards have been developed through careful review of the Quality Core Curriculum and vertical planning across grade levels K-12.  Health and PE courses are offered at all Forsyth County Schools in accordance with Georgia Board of Education Rules.  Sex/AIDS education is a component of the Health curriculum for grades 6-9.  Forsyth County currently uses the Choosing the Best curriculum for sex/AIDS education lessons in grades 6-8.  Starting in 2007, the Choosing the Best curriculum will also be used in 9th grade Health classes for sex/AIDS education lessons.  Parents may preview the sex education curriculum materials used by his/her child’s school by contacting the Health/PE Department Leader of their respective school.  If a parent does not wish for his/her child to participate in this portion of the course, notification must be made in writing to the health teacher prior to the beginning of the unit.  Alternative assignments will be given and assessed for those students in lieu of the sex/AIDS education lessons.  All curricular materials used for sex/AIDS education have been recommended for use by the Forsyth County Sex Education Advisory Committee and subsequently approved by the Forsyth County Board of Education.
