ICSD Well-Being Screener

A well-being screener is a brief check-in that helps parents and schools recognize when a student may need support with concerns such as anxiety, depression, or thoughts of self-harm. For students in grades 3–5, the screener does not include questions about self-harm. It also highlights students’ strengths, including positive school experiences and their ability to cope with challenges.

Parents who would like to see the questions before their child completes the screener are welcome to do so. Because the questions are protected by copyright, they cannot be posted online or sent by email. However, parents may schedule an appointment with Tim Marriott (see contact information below) to review the questions in person.

Students in grades 3-12, with parental consent, who are currently enrolled in the Iron County School District. 

Well-being screenings serve a similar purpose to routine school screenings for hearing, vision, and reading: they help identify potential concerns early so families and schools can connect students with appropriate support. A well-being screener focuses on a student’s emotional and social well-being, including strengths and areas where additional support may be helpful. It does not provide a diagnosis or replace an evaluation by a qualified professional.

Upon completing the parental consent form, parents will be sent an email with a link to an online well-being screener. It will be the parents responsibility to provide the link to their student. Younger students will likely need help from a parent to complete the well-being screener. 

The well-being screener is optional and provided as a service to families. Parental consent is mandatory!  No Exceptions! 

The well-being screener will be administered November 16-20, 2026. 

Parents will receive an email with their child's results. A mental health team member from your child's school will contact you if there are areas of concern identified from the screening results. 

The Iron County School District has received a Mental Health Screening Grant from the Utah State Board of Education, which covers the full cost of the well-being screener. In addition, support and resources may be available for students whose results indicate a higher level of need.

The Iron County School District has many supports and resources available to students and families. The district has access to community supports as well.
