All Wayland High School students will participate in the MetroWest Adolescent Health Survey on Thursday, Nov. 15. The survey includes questions pertaining to student health and risky behaviors such as alcohol, tobacco and other substance use. It also asks about violence, bullying, cyberbullying, physical activity, nutrition and mental health.
In a schoolwide email, Principal Allyson Mizoguchi described how students’ answers to the survey are important because they are used in developing the Wellness curriculum and student body programs.
