Student Health Survey Parental Notification Letter
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Our school is participating in the Student Health Survey (SHS), a survey sponsored by the Oregon Health Authority Public Health Division and the Oregon Department of Education. The survey will gather information about health risk behaviors of students in grades 6, 8 and 11. The survey will be conducted online either in the classroom or remotely and includes questions about:
Student health and safety
Student mental and behavioral health
School climate and culture
Completing the Student Health Survey poses minimal risk to your child, who may feel embarrassed or uncomfortable answering some of the questions. Survey procedures have been designed to protect your child's privacy and allow for anonymous participation. If your child is not comfortable answering a question, he or she can leave it blank. While we encourage all students to participate, the decision to participate is voluntary. You may opt to send a refusal for your child’s participation. Alternatively, your child will have the opportunity to refuse at the time of the survey. There will be no action against you or your child if your child does not participate.
If you do not wish your child to take this survey, please email ahs-communications@beaverton.k12.or.us. You need only contact the school if you do not wish your child to participate or have any questions.
The survey is also available on the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Public Health website for you to review before the survey date.
If you have other specific questions about the survey, please feel free to email ahs-communications@beaverton.k12.or.us.ParentSquare - Sign up and Get the App
