All of our 7th graders are being asked to be a part the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) sponsored by the California Department of Education (CDE). 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.
Survey Content: The survey gathers information on developmental supports provided to youth; school connectedness and barriers to learning; school safety; health-related concerns such as physical activity and nutritional habits; alcohol, tobacco and other drug use; risk of depression and suicide; and protected class identifiers such as sexual orientation and gender identity
You may examine the questionnaire in the school office or at your district’s Web site: https://iusd.org/about/departments/education-services/student-support-services/mental-health-wellness/california
This survey is optional. If you do not want your child to complete the survey, you must notify your school.
If you do not want your child to participate, you may contact:
