Oak Park and River Forest High School will conduct a student wellness survey from Wednesday, Aug. 13, through Friday, Aug. 15, as part of an effort to better understand the social and emotional needs of its students. The school is working with Panorama to collect information on areas such as coping, self-regulation, resilience, social skills, and problem-solving.

“These focus areas are aligned with the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) competencies, and the results will help us identify school-wide priorities for development. They will also enable us to match students with the appropriate level of intervention when needed,” according to a statement from the school.

Students can access the 2025 Student Wellness Survey using their student ID number as the password or access code.
