SEARCHCalifornia School Climate, Health, and Learning Surveys (CalSCHLS)
The California School Climate, Health, and Learning Surveys are a data collection system composed of the California Healthy Kids Survey for students (Grades 5 – 11), the California School Staff Survey, and the California School Parent Survey that enable our district to analyze the results to guide and develop effective health, prevention, and youth development programs. Grade 5 and 6 require active consent from parents/caregivers. Grades 7-11 require passive consent, which means parents/legal guardians inform the school only if they don’t want their child to participate. Both forms are provided prior to conducting the survey.
The survey gathers information on behaviors such as physical activity and nutritional habits; alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use; school safety and environment; and individual strengths and assets. Written permission is required for Grades 5 and 6. When the district plans on administering the CHKS, parent notifications will be sent and survey questions will be available to preview before the test is administered.
The surveys may be reviewed in the main office of your student’s school or at the links below.
