Healthy Youth Survey
Our school will participate in the Healthy Youth Survey (HYS) this Fall. Youth in Washington State have been taking the HYS since 2002. The number of young people taking the survey has grown from only a few thousand to over 215,000 a year! The survey asks about how youth are doing, social relationships, mental health, substance use, risks for injury, and more. Communities, districts, schools, and public health agencies use survey results to inform policies and programs designed to support youth well-being. The HYS is a meaningful way for youth to guide the future of our state. Your youth’s participation is appreciated. Please share this information with your youth. Then talk about the survey and decide if your youth will participate. Need More Information? https://5il.co/3q4jn
To provide the most accurate information possible, we will no longer be posting bus routes on our district website. With ongoing driver shortages and frequent route changes, it is best for families to contact our Transportation Department directly with any questions about bus times or stops. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to best support our students and families.
