California Healthy Kids Survey

The California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS), sponsored by the California Department of Education, is administered every two (2) years. This is a very important survey that will help promote better health and well-being among our youth, improve the school learning environment, and combat problems such as drug abuse and violence. Your child does not have to take the survey. Participation is voluntary and anonymous.
