Healthy Youth Survey to be administered on October 13

Bob Curley — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:42:30 +0000

The Washington State Healthy Youth Survey is given to students in grades 6, 8, 10, and 12 every two years. The data collected from this survey helps Eckstein and other schools to apply for state grants, such as the one that funds our underage drinking prevention efforts, and to plan health-related programs in our communities.

Eckstein will administer the survey to 6th and 8th grade students on Monday, October 13. More information is available from the hys-parent-notice.

Contact Inga Manskopf at 252-5010 or inmanskopf@seattleschools.org if you would like more information.
