California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS)
The California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) is an annual survey administered to students grades 3-12, school staff, and parents. The information gleaned from these results help inform intervention strategies, programmatic offerings, safe school practices, and work towards an ever-evolving positive school culture.
Different modules are completed by each student, depending on their grade level. Those students in grades 6 and below must receive active consent, that is, the student can not complete the survey without a parent's signature on a form confirming their approval. For students in grades 7 and above, passive consent is needed. This means a student is able to complete the survey, unless a parent signs the form saying the can not complete the CHKS.
The modules students will complete, by grade level, can be found below. Your school's administration will be sending home the consent form to be returned by the parent.
Each school will be completing the survey at a different day and time, according to their school's specific scheduling needs. Should you have questions about the administration of the survey, please reach out to your school's administration.
Thank you for supporting this meaningful data collection process as we gather information to guide the future of our district.
