Dear Parents and Students,
STUDY ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND MENTAL HEALTH (students can earn $10 in cash)
We are excited to partner with Dr. Sarah Coyne at Brigham Young University on a research study to examine how social media impacts teen mental health in the state of Utah. If you give your child permission to participate, they will fill out a 10-15 minute survey during their advisory class asking about their social media use and mental health. This will take place in either late January or February. They will also be given an opportunity to complete the survey two more times over the next year. Students will be paid $10 in cash each time they take the survey. Your child is eligible to participate if they are between the ages of 11-17, live in the state of Utah, and speak English.
Click this link to give your permission for your child to participate in the study.
See attached to view the survey questions.
Please contact Dr. Sarah Coyne at smcoyne@byu.edu if you have any questions about your child’s participation.
CCA SUPERDAY
All 8th grade students in “good standing” will attend the Super CCA Day at Olympus HS on January 17th to learn more about career pathways and their career and technical student organizations (clubs). All 8th graders will eat lunch before the field trip and will load on the busses at 11:30am. Students will return to school at 2pm. **Good standing will be determined by grades, citizenship, behavior, referrals, teacher’s or administrator’s discretion, etc.
Field trip permission forms will be handed out after the holiday break, and will need them returned by Wednesday, January 10th.
We will need 15-20 parent volunteers to help us on this field trip, so if you can help, please look for the digital sign-up for parent volunteers from the PTA in January.
