The 2019 administration of the California Healthy Kids Survey is on Tuesday, March 12, 2019. Only 9th and 11th grade students will take the survey; 10th and 12th grade students will not participate.
This is a very important survey that will help promote better health and well-being among our youth, improve the school learning environment and and combat issues such as substance use and bullying.
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.
The most recent school-level and district-level CHKS reports from the 2017 administration are available on the SDUHSD website at https://www.sduhsd.net/Parents--Students/Student-Support--Wellness/California-Healthy-Kids-Survey-CHKS/index.html.
The results from this survey are also compiled into district- and county-level CHKS Reports. To view a copy of any California county or school district’s report, go to https://calschls.org/reports-data/search-lea-reports/ (Outside Source) and type in the district’s name.
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 March 12, 2019 during a special survey block at the beginning of second period classes. It will take about about 40 minutes to complete. CCA will follow a modified bell schedule in order to minimize the impact to instructional time. The modified schedule is displayed below.
