Health Youth Survey 2021
The Simpson 6th graders will be participating in the Healthy Youth Survey again this year on Monday, October 11, 2021.
The Healthy Youth Survey asks questions about risks for injury, health outcomes, and alcohol and drug use. Schools, and state and local agencies use survey results to support our youth and reduce their risks. The Healthy Youth Survey is voluntary and anonymous and provides important information to guide policy and programs that serve our youth.
Survey questions come from surveys across the nation and in Washington. Parents and guardians can contact the Simpson Office to see a copy of the survey and/or to opt their student out of the survey.
