Eye of the Dragon
John Dewey Academy of Learning * January 7 - 11 , 2019 *
Youth Risk Behavior Survey
Hello Dragon Families!
At the beginning of this school year you received a notification that the Green Bay Area Public School District is planning to administer the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) to all 6-12th grade students during the 2018-19 school year. The survey asks about health behaviors of our students. There are questions about nutrition, physical safety, sexual behavior, physical activity, tobacco, and alcohol and other drug use.
Students at John Dewey will take the survey on January 16th at 12:45 pm.
We would like all students to take part, but the survey is voluntary. Students will be allowed to skip any question they do not wish to answer and they may stop taking the survey at any point without penalty. If you would like to review the survey prior to the above dates, please contact our social worker, Maria Abundiz-Campos, at mdabundizcampos@gbaps.org.
If you DO NOT want your child to take part in the survey, please contact Ms. Jen prior to January 16th.
Thank you for being a dragon! We appreciate you and we believe in you.
With gratitude,
Jen + the JDAL Staff
LOOKING FOR PARENT NETWORK VOLUNTEERS!
