Dear Parents and Students;
Every two years, the state and district conduct a survey regarding student health and risk behaviors. Information gained from the survey will allow your school district and the State of Utah to continue to provide comprehensive prevention programs for our schools and children.
This year, the State of Utah will be surveying all 10th & 12th graders in their English class. This survey is optional and anonymous. Since this survey includes questions regarding risk taking behavior, including drug use, violent behaviors and other personal issues that are not typically discussed in school; parent permission is required for students to participate. Only students with parent permission will be surveyed. To ensure that you have received this information, please fill out the permission forms linked below. If you do not want your student participating in this survey, please indicate so on the permission form.
