Welcome to the Moreland School District Student Services and Special Education Department. 

The Moreland School District Student Services and Special Education Department staff members collaborate with families and community members to cultivate a learning environment to enhance student success through various programs.

7th Grade California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS)

Survey Window: Januay 11 to January 15, 2021

The California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) is the largest statewide survey of resiliency, protective factors, and risk behaviors in the nation. Across California, the CHKS has led to a better understanding of the relationship between students' health behaviors and academic performance. 

The Moreland School District will administer the CHKS to 7th grade students from January 11 to January 15. It will take one class period to complete (approximately 50 minutes) and will be administered by your child’s teacher. The CHKS is anonymous and is for the use of the district and school. Participation is voluntary, but encouraged as the information provided will help guide district and school efforts to promote safety, enhance learning supports, improve students achievement and reduce health risks that stand as barriers to learning. 

If you wish to opt-out your student from the CHKS, complete the on-line opt-out form below by Wednesday, January 6, 2021 by 5:00 p.m. You are only completing this form if you do NOT want your child to participate.
