Home and Family Life
Dear Parents(s) or Guardians(s):
The 8th Grade Health/Fitness classes will now start teaching Health one day a week. The purpose is to help your child to better understand health issues concerning them. Some activities may include your child coming home and discussing that day’s topic with you. Your child will be given a family homework exercise to complete with you for credit (10 points). I have attached a “Family Homework Confirmation Slip”for parents to sign indicating you had a discussion regarding that day’s topic and the student will need to return it to me the next day.This is simply a way to:
*Reinforce your family beliefs.
*Discuss topics you may have been wanting to discuss for a long time.
*Find out what your child is thinking or worrying about regarding growing up.

• Evaluating health and fitness information
