The Creating Positive Relationships (CPR) Program Will Be Conducted at Our School the Weeks

CREATING POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS

IMPORTANT PARENT INFORMATION NIGHT

The Creating Positive Relationships (CPR) program focuses on helping our students understand the physical, social, and emotional changes brought about by puberty. The program also centers on good communication skills, common fears about becoming an adolescent, and how to prepare our students to respect themselves and others. CPR is a major part of our Health curriculum as it addresses many of the 5th and 6th grade Indiana Academic Standards for Health.
