California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS)
For the month of February, Glenview is collaborating with California Healthy Kids to administer a survey to parents, students (5th grade only) and staff. This anonymous survey is designed to give us non-academic insight into our students’ well-being and is given to all students, staff and parents in the district.
Last year, Glenview was a Triple Crown Winner and we hope for the same this year. If we reach our goals, Glenview Staff will be entered into a drawing (with other Triple Crown Winners) to receive a freshly cooked breakfast and our school gets a plaque! To win, we need to survey at least 35% of parents, 65% of 5th grade students, and 80% of staff by Friday, February 26, 2016.
To reach this goal, we are offering prizes to individual students, classes, and teachers.
Class Party - for classes with the most returned parent surveys
Raffle Drawing - for students who return completed parent surveys
Raffle Drawing - for teachers with the most completed parent surveys
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Ms. Morgan (linda.morgan@ousd.org) or Ms. Cabral (chrystiajcabral@gmail.com). This campaign will kick off Monday, February 1, 2015. We will hand out hard copies of the parent surveys and provide more information at Monday (2/8) afternoon’s staff meeting.
Here's the link to the staff survey if you have not already done it. If you came to the Staff Prof. Development on Friday, 1/29, we completed the survey there and you are done!
