Talking to your teens about sex just got easier

Scottsdale Unified School District invites parents, teachers, administrators and community members to attend the Parent/Teacher Academy workshop entitled Let's Talk about Sex at 6:30 p.m., on Wednesday, March 30, in the auditorium at Arcadia High School, 4703 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix.

Sex can be difficult to talk about, especially for parents and teens. This highly informative workshop will provide parents with the essentials for this important conversation. It will include an overview of trends, behaviors, and research on adolescent sexual issues. Participants will increase their understanding of sexual issues facing our youth today. An overview of our district's Sexuality Education program will be provided.

In addition, teachers who attend the presentation can receive Career Ladder hours or staff development points, as well as recertification credits.

Topics for future forums include a narrative of adolescent self-harm, stress management and drugs. To view the complete Parent/Teacher Academy calendar, please visit SUSD’s Web site at: http://www.susd.org/district/forparents/2004-2005ParentTeacherAcademyCalendar.pdf
