Healthy Youth Survey - 2025

September 19 - October 24, 2025

Washington State Healthy Youth Survey 2025

UPSD will be participating in the Healthy Youth Survey (HYS) again this year. The HYS will be given to students in Grades 6, 8, 10 and 12 between October 6th and 24th. The Healthy Youth Survey includes questions related to physical activity, unintentional and intentional injury, substance use, interpersonal relationships, school experiences, risk and protective factors, and access to school-based services.

Survey results are used by schools, communities, and State agencies to plan programs to support our youth and reduce their risks. Participation in the survey is voluntary and steps are taken to ensure student privacy. The surveys are anonymous and there are no names or codes used to link a survey back to an individual student.

Please read the Parent and Student Notification Letter for more information about the Healthy Youth Survey.
