| Youth Risk Behavior Survey to be administered on Tuesday, March 12th, at Hunt. |
Our school is participating in the Vermont Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) sponsored by the Vermont Department of Education and the Vermont Department of Health. We are planning to administer the survey on March 12, 2013. For more information go to our website: http://ow.ly/iGKlE
VERMONT YOUTH RISK SURVEY
Dear Parent and/or Guardian:
Our school is participating in the Vermont Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) sponsored by the Vermont Department of Education and the Vermont Department of Health. The survey gathers information about health risk behaviors of 6th through 8th grade students. Questions are asked about nutrition, alcohol, tobacco and other drug use, physical exercise, and injuries. Schools, communities and state agencies will use the results of the survey to evaluate programs, plan new programs and to secure future funding.
We are planning to administer the survey on March 12, 2013.
The Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in conjunction with state and local school officials, developed the YRBS. It also has the support of many national organizations including the National PTA.
The YRBS is anonymous, and survey procedures have been designed to protect your child’s privacy. The names of students who take the survey and the survey responses will not be disclosed to any school employee nor will any student’s name or survey responses be divulged in a report of the results. We would like students to take part in the survey; however, the survey is voluntary. No student is required to take the survey. As a parent of a student eligible to participate in the YRBS, federal law affords you the right too inspect the survey before it is administered and to opt your child out of participating in the survey.
Should you decide to opt your child out of taking the survey please inform us in writing by returning the enclosed form on the backside or email Hunt School by March 11, 2013.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call Peggy Weaver, Student Assistance Counselor at 865-5378. Thank you for your cooperation.

Update: The families of Hunt Middle School have collected 2 Full boxes of shoes and they have been mailed to ShoeBox Recycling to be sent to places in the world where recycled shoes are re-used. Keep up the great work!! Recycled shoes are great for local economies and keep our environment clean!
Send your pre-loved sneakers, dress shoes, sports shoes, and
sandals to school to be placed in the ShoeBox collection bin to the left of the front door. The student council will organize all the shoes and send them to ShoeBox Recycling to be re-used and NOT end up in the landfill.
Did you know....
*Each year, more than 300 million shoes are landfilled; how many of them could have been reused?
*It takes more than 200 years for a sneaker to break down naturally in a landfill.
