    MATURATION

    NEISD adopted and utilizes a one-hour video-based Elementary Maturation lesson facilitated by the school nurse. The program discusses the changes both boys and girls experience during puberty and adolescence.  Two in-person Parent Preview Meetings will be offered.  More information about the meetings and at-home preview window will be sent to parents/guardians of 4th and 5th grade students prior to student class dates. Parents/guardians may view program materials through Skyward Family Access (https://portal.neisd.net/hsae) or in person by scheduling an appointment at their student’s campus anytime during regular business hours.

    ABUSE PREVENTION

    This curriculum is still under review by the SHAC per the January 2022 Board resolution. Before the SHAC can make any recommendations to the Board for adoption of the curriculum, it must host two public meetings on the curriculum materials. For updates on the curriculum review process, please visit the SHAC website at www.neisd.net/shac.
