This year the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) will be conducted November 20th through December 15th for students in Grades 6-12. The Buffalo Public Schools' Department of Social Emotional and Wellness Supports has conducted the YRBS every odd year since 2011. The anonymous information gathered from students will be used to improve health and wellness supports. The YRBS was developed by the CDC to monitor health behaviors that contribute to the leading causes of death, disability, and social problems among youth in the US.

Students are NOT asked to give their names. They will also be told NOT to answer any questions that they are not comfortable with. Surveys are available for review on the District website. If you choose to have your student opt out of the survey please complete the Opt Out Form located on the district website by November 10, 2023.

We appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey. The survey is completely anonymous and confidential. Should you have any questions or concerns please email wellness@buffaloschools.org
