California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) is a comprehensive youth health risk and resilience behavior data collection service available to all California districts, sponsored by the California Department of Education (CDE).  It consists of a comprehensive survey instrument that assesses all major areas of health-related behavior, as well as a full-service survey support system to help districts collect and use CHKS data to improve prevention and health programs. 

At Capistrano Unified School District the survey is administered to 5, 7, 9 and 11-grade students in January-February.  In addition, parents and staff are asked to complete a survey to evaluate the school site.  CUSD Staff are surveyed every other year and will be included the 2021-22 school year.

The window for participation in the 2021-2022 Parent Survey is January 13 to February 10.  The window for participation for students and staff will be January 18 to February 10.  The District will receive results in the summer which will be shared with the community.  The results will assist the District and school sites in planning to meet student needs.
