Well Being Survey
Borah High Families,
We are excited to announce that our school will participate again this year in Communities for Youth's Boise Student Wellness Survey. Thanks to our students, last year's survey results provided our mental health professionals and school administrators with evidence about student mental health and well-being.
What do we do with the results?
The results of the student well-being survey gave us valuable information, which identified areas of success as well as opportunities where we can focus. They also serve as an important measurement for our schools and our commitment to creating a responsive culture for learning.
For example, last year's survey data resulted in the District's first mental health summit, where junior and senior high school principals were provided with their school-specific data and encouraged to develop resources and activities directly related to student well-being and school culture.
Survey Questions & Parental Permission
The success of this survey will rely on engagement and trust. This year, you will have to opt-in your junior or senior high school student to participate in this survey, rather than opt-out. Your approval is required for your student to take the survey.
The survey, in its entirety, is available for parents to view
.Complete the opt-in form
. Without your permission, your student will not be able to participate.Only students in grades 7 through 12 will take the survey
.The survey will be administered during the school day, between October 23 - October 31, 2023.
The survey is expected to take less than one hour to administer.
Thank you for your support in helping to improve student overall well-being!
