Henrico County Public Schools’ Health curriculum contains age-appropriate Family Life Education (FLE) objectives and activities that are used to promote health literacy, healthy lifestyles and relationships. During the 2025-26 school year, HCPS family life educators and/or allied health professionals will present grade specific FLE content to students in small groups based on grade and gender.
In HCPS, the decision for students to participate in the family life portion of the Health curriculum is left to the parent or guardian. Parents and guardians have the right to review the family life education program content, including written and audio-visual educational materials that will be used.
Families may review the FLE objectives by grade level, submit requests to review the materials, and find the Opt-out form on the HCPS Family Life Education webpage at: https://www.henricoschools.us/page/family-life-education/
Please also review the Prevention Project Caregiver Information Form by Freekind ®, a VDOE-approved curriculum that supports Virginia legislation (2020) to eradicate human trafficking.
If you decide to opt your child out of the FLE health curriculum, please complete the form that will be provided by their Health & PE teacher and return it as soon as possible.
Forms will be distributing on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
Thank you for entrusting HCPS as a partner in these conversations. We encourage you to talk with your child about these topics before and after they receive the information in school.
