Dear Parent or Guardian:
WASD is participating in the 2025 Pennsylvania Youth Survey (PAYS), sponsored by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs. The survey will ask questions about the behaviors of students in the 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th grades, including questions about school climate, mental health, violence, bullying, and substance use
If you have a child in the 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, or 12th grade and would like to opt them out of the survey, please notify your child's school in advance of the survey participation.
The survey window is from November 3 to 14, 2025.
