Project CoVitality

Social Emotional Health Resources

Social Emotional Health Resources

The UC Santa Barbara Project Covitality Team seeks out and posts school-based mental health and wellness resources. We do this to support your efforts to help all students thrive and grow into competent and caring people who positively impact their communities and the world.

Elementary Student Survey

The Healthy Kid Survey (CHKS) is a modular, anonymous assessment recommended for students age 10 (grade 5) and above. It is focused on the five most important areas for guiding school and student improvement:

  • student connectedness, learning engagement/motivation, and attendance;
  • school climate, culture, and conditions;
  • school safety, including violence perpetration and victimization/bullying;
  • physical and mental well-being and social-emotional learning; and
  • student supports, including resilience-promoting developmental factors (caring relationships, high expectations, and meaningful participation).

New in 2020/21. The elementary Core Module has been expanded this year to assess topics of particular concern due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated reduction in in-person learning opportunities. Note that there is one elementary Core Module. Students are directed to questions relevant to the instructional learning model used in their school using skip logic.

Secondary Student Modules

The Secondary Module is aligned with the Local Control and Accountability Plan to assess:

  • school climate and safety,
  • pupil engagement,
  • student supports,
  • bullying, and
  • substance abuse.

Demographic questions help identify the needs of key subgroups, including:

  • racial/ethnic groups,
  • foster youth,
  • economically disadvantaged, and
  • English language learners.

You are the expert on your child. Over the course of a school year, you receive lots of information on how your child is performing in school that combine to give you a more complete picture of your child’s academic progress. In addition, to report card grades and class tests, you can use test score reports to better understand your child’s strengths and areas in need of improvement to start a meaningful conversation with your child’s teacher about how to better support learning at home.  You can access your child’s score reports online in the Parent Connect Parent Portal:  https://bridgescharter.vcoe.org/parentconnect/default.htm
