California Healthy Kids Survey Results

CHKS Results

For districtwide results on the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS), use the link above. Contact Shannon McCabe or your school administrator for school site results. CHKS is a statewide, anonymous survey given in grades 9 & 11. The survey identifies eight domains including: school connectedness; drug, alcohol, and tobacco use; bullying and school safety; and student resilience.

The mission of Health Services is to make sure that the health care needs of all of the students in the Simi Valley Unified School District are met while at school. School nurses help to care for students who have current or chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, seizure disorders and severe allergies, that are potentially life-threatening.  

The Health Services staff for SVUSD consists of nine full-time school nurses and one administrative assistant. School nurses coordinate with families and their doctors to ensure that preparations are in place should a health emergency occur. This requires training school staff to handle these emergencies. School staff members assist school nurses in the event of any health emergency. All of the school nurses are available by phone and/or text to go to schools for emergencies and when called to answer questions from school staff. School nurses also attend to health care needs for students needing daily nurse care. 

School nurses also perform a variety of other vital functions. They are the main teachers for the SVUSD's Family Life-Sex Education Program. They oversee the immunization requirements and health and dental examination requirements. They assist in meeting the state requirements for mandated hearing and vision screening. School nurses are also a part of the Special Education Assessment Team, where they are responsible for the vision and hearing testing, and for maintaining the health and developmental histories for all special education assessments.
