California Healthy Kids Survey

The California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) is an anonymous, confidential survey of school climate and safety, student wellness, and youth resiliency. The CHKS is part of a comprehensive data-driven decision-making process on improving school climate and student learning environment for overall school improvements.

The Placer County Office of Education is committed to ensuring that we support the whole child and identify barriers to learning for the students we serve. Taking the survey is voluntary and the results are used to create prevention and intervention activities.

Assessment and Accountability Spotlight and Resources

This spring, all eligible California students will take the year-end tests based on their current grade level. This may include the:

Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments in English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics.
California Science Test.
Summative English Language Proficiency Assessments for California or a locally determined alternate assessment as determined by the student’s individualized educational program team.
California Alternate Assessments for ELA, mathematics, and science.
Optional California Spanish Assessment.

The end-of-year tests will give you, your child, and your child’s teacher(s) important information about this year’s learning. Use test results along with grades, class work, homework, and teacher feedback to understand whether your child is on track to meet grade level standards, or needs additional support.
