      or Guardian,</p>
    <p dir="ltr">Your child is being asked to take a survey at school.
      The California Department of Education requires schools and
      districts to ask students about alcohol, tobacco, and other drug
      issues, as well as questions about school safety, the learning
      environment, and student health. Participation in the survey is
      voluntary on the part of the student, and we hope you will
      encourage your child to participate so that his or her opinion and
      knowledge can be part of the information gleaned from the survey.</p>
    <p dir="ltr">The survey is anonymous. No names or any other
      identifying information is connected to the answers except for the
      name of the school.</p>
    <p dir="ltr">The California Healthy Kids Survey will be given to all
      ninth and eleventh graders at Berkeley High School between
      February 12th and February 18th, 2014. The results from the survey
      will help provide BUSD with information to improve school safety,
      student health, and the learning environment. Information from the
      California Healthy Kids Survey has recently helped BUSD obtain
      funds for alcohol, tobacco, and drug prevention education. </p>
    <p dir="ltr">If you have questions, please contact </p>
