Washington State 2014 Healthy Youth Survey
Our district is participating in the Washington State 2014 Healthy Youth Survey on October 21, 2014.
The Healthy Youth survey includes questions related to physical activity and diet, unintentional and intentional injury,
substance use, risk and protective factors, access to school-based services, and sexual behaviors, abuse and orientation.
Survey results are used by schools, communities and state agencies to plan programs to support our youth and reduce their
risks.
The Healthy Youth Survey is given to students in grades 6, 8, 10 and 12 across Washington State.
This year, schools from small districts are also giving the survey to students in grades 7, 9 and 11.
Participation in the survey is voluntary and the students’ answers are anonymous.
Please read the Parent and Student Notification flyer, which was sent home and is also on the NVHS website, for more
information about the Healthy Youth Survey.
Meal applications Please contact Melissa Paulus at the District Office, 988-4754 ext. 5297, if you
have any questions. Applications must be reviewed, an eligibility determination will be made, the
family notified of its status, and the status implemented within 10 operating days of the receipt of the
application. Whenever possible, applications should be processed immediately, particularly for
children who do not have approved applications on file from the previous year.
