The Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us that, as parents, you are the primary educators of your children. This responsibility includes an awareness of laws that potentially impact their moral beliefs. You may not be aware that the California Healthy Youth Act of 2015 requires mandatory instruction for our middle & high school children that is contrary to Catholic moral teachings. We are letting our families know about this law to raise awareness of plans for use of this program in all districts of Tracy schools. The curriculum, one for 7th graders and one for 9th graders, will be implemented within the next two to three months. OPT OUT FORMS AVAILABLE HERE...
