CHS WANTS YOUR FEEDBACK

The CalSCHLS system was created by the California Department of Education (CDE) in 1997 to efficiently and cost-effectively provide school districts and their partner communities with quality local data which can be used to improve student academic performance and social-emotional, behavioral, and physical health of all youth. It assesses key indicators linked to success in school, career, and life. The majority of districts in California now use CalSCHLS data as Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) indicators.

There are three surveys that are used in SDUSD:

• California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS)

• California School Staff Survey (CSSS)

• California School Parent Survey (CSPS)

These surveys play an important role in allowing students, staff, and families to share their thoughts on the types of tools and resources CHS should work to add to our academic program. CHS is asking that ALL parents complete the California School Parent Survey (CSPS) by March 25, 2022. Parents can access the California School Parent Survey at the link below:

Parent: https://wested.ugam-apps.com/wed/ts/cm1n

Students will have an opportunity to complete the survey at school. If you have any questions regarding the survey or need any additional assistance, please reach out to Principal Williams at ewilliams4@sandi.net.
