Healthy Kids Survey
Each year, families across the state are asked to complete the California Healthy Kids survey. This survey provides a 360 degree assessment of our Sharks’ wellbeing as students, parents, and staff provide feedback on topics ranging from mental health to academics, substance use to community engagement. The survey, found here, should not take more than 30 minutes to complete and is used by the state of California and Oceana to identify additional opportunities to provide support. It is completely confidential, so please give us the most honest feedback you can. Thank you in advance for completing this survey and supporting Oceana in better meeting the needs of our Sharks.
