Attention Parents/Guardians:
On Friday, February 9th, our Sophomore and Senior students will be participating in a statewide student survey offered through the University of Illinois. The purpose of the survey is to better understand Illinois youth risk behaviors as they relate to student problems and academic success, and to plan important prevention and intervention programs.
The survey is entirely anonymous and voluntary, and our school will only receive a report of overall results.
A Parent Notification Letter was emailed to all sophomore and senior students and is also available on our website. Please review this letter which includes detailed information about the survey, a link to a sample survey, and information if you wish for your student to opt out of the survey.
For further information, please click: https://iys.cprd.illinois.edu/conducting/opt-out
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Venvertloh in the Guidance Office at Extension 2535.
