Dear Parent or Guardian:

Your child is being asked to be a part of our school’s California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS), sponsored by the California Department of Education. This is a very important survey that will help promote better health and well-being among our youth, improve the school learning environment, and combat problems such as drug abuse and violence. Your child does not have to take the survey. Participation is voluntary and requires your permission.

Survey Content. The survey gathers information on developmental supports provided to youth; school connectedness and barriers to learning; school safety; and health-related concerns such as physical activity and nutritional habits; alcohol, tobacco and other drug use; and risk of depression and suicide and perceived sexual orientation. You may examine the questionnaire in the school office or at your district’s Web site. The results from this survey are compiled into district-and county-level CHKS Reports. To view a copy of your district’s report, go to Search LEA Reports (Outside Source) and type in the district name. The information gathered from this survey helps provide feedback to our school to guide services for next year.

It is Voluntary. Students who, with your permission, agree to participate do not have to answer any questions they do not want to answer, and may stop taking the survey at any time.It is Anonymous. No names are recorded or attached to the survey forms or data. The results will be made available for analysis only under strict confidentiality controls. Administration. The survey will be administered on 5/6/21 & 5/7/21. It will take about one class period to complete (about 50 minutes) and will be administered in your child’s PE class.

None have been reported in 20 years of survey administration.In rare instances, some discomfort might be experienced from the questions.
