The JED Foundation

Dear CCHS Families,

As part of our School Improvement Plan, CCHS is focusing on student mental health and wellness.  Goal #2:

Develop and create a sound infrastructure to support the well-being and mental health of our school community - students, staff, administrators, and families.

We created a new role of a Wellness Coordinator in order to guide and inform our efforts to ensure that we are effective in improving our supports for our community members. The administration, Wellness Coordinator, and counselors are dedicated and excited about this work. 

As part of this improvement plan, CCHS has partnered with the Jed Foundation to conduct an online survey about student well-being, challenges they may face, and their sources of support. We are asking students to take the JED High School Student Survey because we believe this confidential survey can provide students who are otherwise unheard, a chance to speak up about their experience at our school. We feel it is vital for us to have input from students in order for us to know if our efforts to improve student well-being, academic success, and inclusivity are working. The answers from the survey will be used to implement programs and protocols, conduct training, shape our curriculum, and advocate for resources from the state at our school. Students' responses will be kept confidential and secure, and will not be connected with their name, email, or any other information that identifies them. If you allow your student to participate, your student may choose to skip questions or stop participating at any time. The survey typically takes around 30-45 minutes to complete. 

Please complete the opt-out form below by Wednesday, December 6, if you do not want your student to participate in the survey.  If you choose to complete the opt-out form, you will need your student’s information [first name, email, student ID].

English: Opt-Out

Spanish: Opt-Out

Portuguese: Opt Out

Haitian-Creole: Opt Out

For study-related questions, please email the principal investigator Dr. Michelle Mullen at HSStudentSurvey@jedfoundation.org. You may also reach out to Cristina Jonson, the Wellness Coordinator, at cjonson@concordcarlisle.org  for more information. 

Sincerely, 

Brian Miller and Katie Stahl
