Bloomsights

Students today face a wide range of emotional and social challenges, and as an educator or school counselor, you want to understand how they’re doing, not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. But understanding why a student might be struggling, withdrawing, or acting out isn’t always straightforward.

That’s why it helps to start with the right questions, ones that give students a safe way to share what’s really going on. A thoughtful check-in can be the first step towards seeing the full picture.

To help, we’ve put together a list of 50 student behavioral health check-in questions you can use in Google Forms to better understand what your students are feeling, thinking, and experiencing in school. It’s a simple way to start meaninful conversations and identify students who may need extra support.

But here’s the thing: checking in with students takes time. Coming up with the right questions, reviewing every response, spotting patterns, following up—it adds up quickly. And when you’re juggling everything else on your plate, it’s easy for those check-ins to slip through the cracks, even when you know how important they are.

That’s where Bloomsights comes in.

Bloomsighs makes it easy to check in with your students regularly, track their social and emotional well-being over time, and respond with care. It’s more than a simple survey, it’s a purpose-built tool to give you:

• Real-time, actionable data to guide support at the student, classroom, and building level.
