    Student Opt Out Procedures

    According to N.J.S.A. 18A:35-4.7 “The NJDOE recognizes and respects that some families prefer to have these conversations privately. Any child whose parent or guardian presents to the school a signed statement that any part of instruction in health, family life education, or sex education is in conflict with his or her conscience or sincerely held moral or religious beliefs shall be excused from that portion of the course. Parents and guardians seeking to exercise this option should contact their local school principal directly.” 

    If a parent would like to opt their child out of receiving the Social and Sexual Health lessons, they must complete and sign the Perth Amboy Public Schools Department of Health and Physical Education Family Life/Sex Education Opt Out Form. The form must be returned to the building principal. To download the opt-out request form, please click below as it applies to your child’s grade level.   

    If a parent would like to opt their child out of receiving Health lessons other than Social and Sexual Health, they must complete and sign the Perth Amboy Public Schools Health Education Opt Out Form. The form must be returned to the building principal. 

    New:  For parents who may need assistance printing the form, please contact the building principal, who will provide a hard copy.
