Well-being Health and Youth (WHY) Surveys- for STUDENTS in Grades 4-8.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Upper Grand District School Board will be taking part in the Well-Being Health and Youth (WHY) Surveys from November 5-15. Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health has partnered with Upper Grand District School Board to conduct a survey in your child’s school. All students in Grades 4 through 12 will be asked to complete this survey.
We have created one survey to replace our school climate, mental health, and youth health surveys. The new survey will provide the information we need to inform programs and supports for students. The results will also help identify opportunities to improve the well-being of children and youth in our community. The survey will provide us with important information about the well-being of children and youth in our community. The information collected during the survey will help schools, school boards, and local service providers to ensure that student well-being is on track.
Classes will be able to complete the survey during the weeks of November 5th to 15th.
Should you wish to have your child not complete the survey, we ask that you put a note in your child’s agenda or call our school at 519-823-5450 and we can send you a copy of the Parent Survey Refusal Form before November 8th. Please see attached below the details of the survey.
What is the purpose of the WHY Surveys?
The purpose of the Well-being Health and Youth (WHY) Surveys is to collect information from youth, parents, and school staff about youth health and well-being. These surveys will identify issues that could be addressed by schools, school boards, and local service providers. The information can be used to inform planning decisions, including Board Improvement Plans. Because the surveys will be conducted every two years, we can also monitor trends over time.
Please see below for further details about the survey.
