YOUR OPINION MATTERS - STUDENT & PARENT SURVEY

As part of SDUSD Local Control Accountability Plan and mandates as described in the California School Dashboard, our District is required to measure Student Engagement, Parent Engagement & Overall School Climate. The California School Survey System (CAL-SCHLS) includes 3 surveys: California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS), California School Staff Survey (CSSS) and California Parent Survey (CPSS). All surveys are anonymous.

This year, the following are recommended participation goals for 2020-2021:

California Healthy Kids Survey: 80-85%

California Staff Survey: 60%

California Parent Survey: 40%

The CAL-SCHLS survey system is the most commonly used and reliable school survey, covering topics related to alcohol, tobacco, drugs, bullying, and other health issues such as school climate and student resiliency. The survey will be administered from May 1-28, 2021. These surveys will support and guide efforts for Multi-Tier Systems of Supports, Integrated Youth Services and our baseline data for High Reliability Schools (Level 1). Enhancing Positive School Climate and creating systems of prevention will continue to guide our District’s CAL-SCHLS data collection, data dissemination and integration.

CHS is asking that all parents and students take a moment to complete the appropriate survey at the link below.

WEEKLY COVID-19 TESTING AVAILABLE FOR STAFF AND STUDENTS

Clairemont High has been working with UCSD to provide COVID PCR testing and screenings for staff and athletes and optional for students coming on campus (not for sick staff or students with symptoms). We have been testing on Fridays, but will be transitioning to Thursday afternoons after Spring Break.

Please use these links to begin using this service if you are a student or staff going on campus and would like to be tested. Currently it is not for siblings or family members. It is a fantastic opportunity to care for one another when we know that many people can carry COVID without any symptoms.

CHS Player's Creed

It is the mission of the CHS athletics program to teach our student-athletes principles that will guide them for the rest of their lives. CHS athletics isn't just about better athletes, but better people. That is why we are so excited to launch our new CHS Player's Creed (see below). In collaboration with the CHS Athletic Leadership council and various stakeholders, the CHS Player’s Creed was developed to outline what we believe it means to be a CHIEF. Every student participating in athletics at CHS, as well as their parent/guardian will be required to sign the CHS Student-Athlete Contract which states the following:

As a student-athlete at Clairemont High School you have the privilege of being part of a memorable and life changing experience. With this privilege comes great responsibility. Therefore, it is the expectation of the CHS admin team and Athletic Director that all who participate in athletics actively work to model character and integrity of the highest quality in the classroom, on the court/pool/field, and in our community. By signing this contract, you agree to strive to live a life worthy of emulating by exhibiting Courage, Humility, Integrity, Endurance, and Focus in all that you do.
