📝A Message for 10th Grade Families:

Henrico County Public Schools continues to work on End-of-Course Writing Performance Portfolios during the 2023-24 school year.  During the fourth quarter, students will complete three writing tasks.  To prepare for the writing, students will be working through a booklet to analyze two texts in class.  Students will receive teacher guidance and support to work through analyzing the readings.  Students will use their reading booklets to complete the essay tasks.  Please note to graduate with a standard or advanced diploma, students need this verified credit in writing.  Essays will be scored by teacher teams over the summer and reported to families in the fall.  Please continue to speak with your child on the importance of doing their best in class and on this portfolio.  Please check in with your child’s teacher on your child’s progress.

Health and Family Life Education (FLE)

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 2023-24 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 and return it to your child’s teacher or school as soon as possible. 

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.
