GOOCHLAND COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS PO Box 169 2938- I River Road West Goochland, VA 23063 Jeremy J. Raley, Ed.D., Superintendent www.glnd.k12.va.us December 15, 2017 PRIDE Survey - Parental No+fica+on and Opt Out Our school division will be taking part in the biennial PRIDE Survey in January. The results of this survey will help Goochland County Public Schools design, adjust, and implement programs that promote student health and school safety, such as a reducKon in adolescent tobacco use and bullying behavior. In order to understand the strengths and challenges of our community regarding wellness and substance use, Goochland and Powhatan School Districts will partner with the Rural Substance Abuse Awareness CoaliKon (RSAAC) to administer the PRIDE Survey to a total of approximately 2,000 youth. The survey is voluntary, and you may exempt your child from parKcipaKon. One hundred percent of the funding for the survey comes from the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services. The primary goal of the survey is to develop a deeper understanding of substance use/abuse and other high-risk behaviors in our youth that can help us demonstrate how our prevenKon efforts are working, supplement those efforts, and bring the community together in addressing any dispariKes that are puUng youth at risk in our community. The survey will be administered to students in grades 8-12 at Goochland Middle School and Goochland High School and will ask quesKons about school safety, alcohol use, tobacco use, drug use, and associated preventaKve factors. A copy is enclosed for your review. ParKcipaKng students will complete the survey in paper-pencil format; it will take about 30 minutes to complete. Students are allowed to skip quesKons they do not wish to answer. The survey has been designed to protect your child’s idenKty; it is completely anonymous. Students will not put their names on the survey; addiKonally, a record of parKcipaKng students will not be created. We would like all students to take part in the survey in an effort to ensure our results are as comprehensive and representaKve as possible, though, again, parKcipaKon is voluntary, and you may exempt your child from parKcipaKon. A copy of the survey is enclosed. For more informaKon about RSAAC iniKaKves or to become involved in substance abuse prevenKon, please contact Goochland Powhatan Community Services at (804) 556-5400. If you do not wish for your child to parKcipate in the survey, please complete the secKon below and return the form to your child’s school as soon as possible. Thank you.
