Great idea on previewing with a book at home. Some may say it may be wise to cover the 6 handouts at home as well, so there are no surprises (especially with a child who may be younger than classmates).

Some parents may also wish to take the opportunity at home before class to encourage healthy boundaries, including that a child does not need to answer any "questions" or "surveys" or participate in any "discussions" that s/he does not wish to, nor does the child need to explain himself or herself. The establishment and maintenance of healthy, respectful personal boundaries is crucial to healthy relationships and also helps protect a person from grooming for abuse.

In some schools, a discussion of sexual behaviors also begins by grade 6. Parents may wish to be familiar with the Center for Disease Control (CDC) information on sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) http://www.cdc.gov/STD/, including HPV and oral cancer
