California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) - Coming in January 2022

The California Department of Education requires the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) to be administered every other school year.  

• SFUSD is administering the CHKS in grades 6, 7, 9, and 11, in randomly chosen middle (including K-8) and high schools in randomly chosen 3rd period classes 
• The survey must be administered between 1/17/22 and 2/11/22.  Find more details here - with more info & teacher packets to come after Winter Break!
• In the first week in January, we will send sites the list of selected classrooms and teacher packets.  Please be sure to distribute packets with parent/caregivers consent forms to selected teachers the first week in January 2022 so they can send the letters home and get them back before the administration window opens on January 17, 2022.
  • 6th grade active consent form: requires the parent/caregiver to signify in writing their permission for their child to participate in the survey
  • 7-12th grade passive consent form: requires the parent/caregiver to signify in writing if they do not want their child to participate in the survey
