Talk it over with the male gym teacher - he knows the school. In the ideal
world, we should all be able to 'have the talk' but maybe in this first year you
should observe him giving the talk even if he feels the school's parents and kids
will be comfortable with a woman giving 'the talk'.

Separately is the most commonly misspelled word in my experience - we say it
differently than it's really spelled.
