Yes, it’s almost time for “the talk.”

To help start discussions about health and wellness, Canyons District has developed an informational maturation-process program for fifth-grade students and their parents. 

Fifth-grade boys and girls and their parents are invited to attend maturation presentations by professional speakers. We encourage parents and their fifth-grade children to attend these free events together so conversations can continue in the home. 

The aim with this program, which supplants the fifth-grade maturation days that previously were held at each school, is to provide consistent, sensitive, and approved maturation instruction districtwide.
