STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE SCHOOL VITALITY SURVEY
Dear Parents,
As you know, during this school year we are preparing for our school’s accreditation and beginning the Self Study process. This protocol is meant to meet the needs of our accrediting body, the Western Catholic Education Association (WCEA), while helping to assess the quality of our programs. The accreditation process focuses upon assessing student success in meeting Schoolwide Learning Expectations (SLEs), Archdiocesan curriculum standards, and all governing authority expectations.
These concepts include the following:
To what extent is mission and Catholic identity infused into the total school program?
o To what extent are students mastering the essential academic content standards?
o To what extent is there evidence of adequate ongoing academic growth for all students?
o To what extent does the school support high achievement for all its students?
o To what extent is assessment data being collected, disaggregated and analyzed?
o To what extent are student learning decisions being made based on the analysis of the assessment data?
o To what extent are procedures and policies in effect to ensure the school’s operational vitality?
As we begin this process, we will ask for your input by completing the survey (linked below) as well as through focus group meetings designed to share your insights. Your participation is vital in helping us to analyze the school, its programs and impact on student learning. We look forward to the accreditation process and working with each of you as we strive to improve student learning.
Please complete this survey by Sunday, November 3rd. We realize this WCEA survey is rather lengthy and should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. We are most grateful for your time and assisting us in this process and look forward to sharing these results with you.
As a special “thank you” the students of those families who have completed the survey will enjoy a special treat!

In order to qualify for the Viator rate you MUST:
