Burwell Public Schools Will Conduct Student Survey
September 13, 2021
Our school district is working very hard to better understand youth health risk and protective behaviors in the community and across Nebraska. As part of this effort, we are asking students in grades 7-12 to participate in an anonymous survey about drug, alcohol and tobacco use.
What is my child being asked to do? We would like your child to answer questions about: • personal use of alcohol , tobacco, and other drugs, perception of risks, where accessed • feelings about their school and community perception of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
Does my child have to participate? No, that is a choice for you and your child. But we really want to hear what your child has to say. If you would like to opt out, please contact the high school office at 308-3464150.
The complete survey is listed below:
