Do you know about the New SEXXX EDUCATION for children in Kindergarten and Elementary grades? 
This workshop will present the new sexual education curriculum that is now required for public school students, starting in Kindergarten. As parents, you have the right to opt out of this instruction. Come and learn. Materials for grade levels will be shared. There will be an opportunity to ask questions. 
Because of the sensitive nature of this material, NO CHILDREN WILL BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND. 
We hope this presentation will assist you in making an informed decision about whether or not the New SEXXX ED is appropriate for your child to participate.
 ¿Conoces la NUEVA EDUCACIÓN SEXUAL que se está ofreciendo a los niños que están en los grados de Kinder y primaria (en las escuela públicas)?
 
Como padres, pueden optar por no participar para que sus hijos no reciban esta instrucción. Para ayudarlo a tomar esta decisión, nuestra parroquia está ofreciendo un taller informativo para brillar luz en los nuevos materiales de Educación Sexual para que pueda tomar una decisión informada sobre si es apropiado o no que su hijo participe. 
 
Este taller incluirá nuevos materiales de educación sexual y la oportunidad de hacer preguntas. Debido a esto, NO SE PERMITIRAN NINOS EN EL TALLER. 
Tendremos traducción simultánea en español.
