Surveying in a few classes or the whole school?
We encourage schools to survey all students (census). If your school prefers to administer the survey to a select number of classes, please use the resources linked below. Please refer to your Survey Coordinator Registration Form in the Portal to see your school’s options for the classroom selection process.
Guidance for Special Needs Students
The HKCS should be offered to any middle or high school student who can independently complete the survey in either English or Spanish. Accommodations for special needs students may follow survey protocol currently in place for that student with the criteria that the privacy of the student is maintained and no student should have to respond to another person to complete the survey.
If such accommodations for special needs students are not available in your school, we request that these students do not participate in the HKCS to protect their health privacy.
Communicate with families
Check with your district leaders to learn if your school is using the standard or the censored version of the survey to ensure the correct materials are shared with parents. Then, download the appropriate high school or middle school portfolio. These can be shared on your school's website or platform you use to communicate with parents/guardians. Feel free to add school-specific information to the portfolio to meet the needs of your community.
