Dear Parents, Our school (grades 7-12) is taking part in the 2025 North Dakota Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) and the 2025 North Dakota Youth Tobacco Survey (YTS) sponsored by the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction. The YRBS survey will ask about nutrition, physical activity, injuries, tobacco, alcohol, other drug use, sexual behavior, and school climate. The content of the YTS survey includes tobacco questions related to prevalence (electronic vapor products, cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, cigars, and pipes); knowledge and attitudes; cessation; environmental tobacco smoke, media and advertising; minors’ access; and school curriculum. Students in grades 7-12 will be asked to fill out a questionnaire that takes about 45 minutes to complete. Doing this survey will cause no risk to students. The survey has been designed to protect student privacy. No student or class will ever be mentioned by name in a report of the results. The results of the survey will help establish trends over time that can be utilized in school planning and curriculum development. We would like all selected student to take part in the survey, but the survey is voluntary. No action will be taken against the school, you, or your child, if your child does not take part. Students can skip any question they do not wish to answer. In addition, students may stop participating in the survey at any point without penalty. Our school will be administering the survey on the following dates: 2/17, 2/18 and 2/25 (depending on your grade). The surveys will be available in the 7-12 office for you to preview if you desire. If you decide you do not want your child to take part in the survey, we will have you complete an opt out form. The opt out form is available in the 7-12 office. I have also attached a copy of this form to this email if you would like to complete at home. I have also attached some other documents with information about the surveys.
