Healthful Living Standards
Grades 6-8
Healthful Living
North Carolina's revised Healthful Living standards cover Health and Physical Education, aiming to provide a comprehensive approach to well-being. The standards address topics like hygiene, nutrition, physical activity, anatomy, and reproductive health, and are designed to be rigorous, specific, sequenced, clear, focused, and measurable.
Middle school students participate in PE and Healthful Living daily. Standards are covered during this block by PE/Health teachers.
Family Life Curriculum
Davidson County Schools provides parents the opportunity to withdraw their child from the Reproductive Health and Safety Education portion, and instead receive an alternative health assignment in an appropriate learning environment during this instructional time, without any repercussions or negativity from staff.
A copy of the curriculum is available for parent review. Contact your school's principal to arrange this.
