COVID-19 STUDENT SURVEY
Our school is participating in the COVID-19 Student Survey in spring 2021. The survey will be given to students in grades 6 to 12 throughout the state. The survey includes questions related to physical and mental health, thoughts and feeling pertaining to school during the pandemic; adult and peer support; attitudes towards and use of alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs and COVID-19 precautions. Survey results are used by teachers, school leaders, parents, community partners and policy leaders to help understand how to meet the needs of the youth in the state. Participation in the survey is voluntary and the students’ answers are anonymous. The survey is open now and will close on March 26th.
