TOB Parent Information Meeting
Parents are strongly encouraged to
attend the Theology of the Body parent information meeting on Wed. Sept.
14th 7pm in the school library. We will provide a brief overview of Bl.
John Paul II's Theology of the Body and of the course material and objectives.
Parent Mini-Course
Parents: Are you looking to learn
more about Theology of the Body, this beautiful teaching on sexuality? Do you
want insights on how to take teach your teen about sexuality and draw the
greatest benefit from their course this year?
Then.......you are invited to join
our free, four week mini-course @PVI.
We will meet from Wednesday from
8-8:45am. Sept. 28, Oct. 5, Oct. 12, Oct. 19.*
This will be a good opportunity to
connect with other parents who are also interested inorporating Theology of
the Body in their family life. Drop of your teen(s) in the morning and join us
for coffee, donuts and the seminar. (No worries this will not be a sharing
session of private information :). All PVI parents are invited to join.
FYI: We have a 7:15 am Mass in the
school chapel. All of the PVI Masses are open to all in the PVI community.
Feel free to come for Mass and then head next door afterwords to the new
Campus Ministry room for refreshmants before the start of the session.
Please RSVP to Mrs. Leffas by
Friday, Sept. 16th if you are interested in taking part (kleffas@paulvi.net)
*If there is enough inerest the same course will be offered in the evening at
a later date.
TOB Opt-Out
Parents are the first and primary
educators of their children. As such, we understand that some parents, for
moral reasons, choose to opt their child out of PVI's sexuality course
(Theology of the Body). If you for some reason did not receive the opt-out
form you may download it at: http://teacherweb.com/VA/PaulVIHighSchool/MrsLeffas/Parent-Letter-2011.doc
Please complete and mail as directed.
Parent Guide
One of the reason PVI chose Theology
of the Body for Teens (Ascension Press) for our curriculum is because it
includes a parent guide. This guide is a great resource for parents and has
excellent suggestions which can allow you to integrate what your teen is being
taught in class.
