The California School Climate, Health, and Learning Survey (Cal-SCHLS) System
The California School Climate, Health, and Learning Survey (Cal-SCHLS) System is comprised of three interrelated surveys developed for and supported by the California Department of Education:
The California Healthy Kids Survey for students
The California School Staff Survey
The California School Parent Survey
These surveys provide schools and districts with critical information about the learning and teaching environment, the health and well-being of students, and supports for parents, school staff, and students that foster learning and school success. When used together, data from these three surveys helps assess the needs, concerns, and successes of the whole school community—teachers, students, and parents—and allows schools and districts to compare perceptions about the status of these areas across stakeholder groups.
The survey includes questions about alcohol, tobacco, and other drug issues, as well as questions about school safety and the learning environment. Student participation in the survey is voluntary. We hope your student will participate in the survey so that his or her opinion and knowledge can be used to improve DUSD.
The survey is anonymous. No names or any other identifying information is connected to the answers except for the name of the school and district. Survey administration dates will be 2/26/24-3/1/24. If you have questions, please contact Marilyn Bertolucci, Director of Student Services and Supports, at 530-895-4697 ext. 6020 or mbertolucci@durhamunified.org

Helping Your Child Learn
Learning is a continuous process that involves the home as well as the school. Children need to see the relationship between the classroom learning experience and their lives out of school. Children benefit from the knowledge that parents are interested and supportive of their educational progress. The following are general guidelines for parental involvement in children’s education:
Establish a regular routine for the completion of homework.
Provide a quiet time and place for study.
Offer encouragement and help in completing assignments.
Ensure daily school attendance — with no tardies.
Maintain a positive manner about your child’s school.
Communicate frequently with your child’s teacher.
