ACCREDITATION UPDATE
 
Our school faculty has been working diligently these past few months to study the various aspects of our school and to write the chapters of our self-study document,  Improving Student Learning: A Self Study Process for Catholic Elementary Schools . First drafts have been submitted and are currently under review by the Accreditation Leadership Committee. Following a first round of revisions, these drafts will be submitted to the Western Catholic Educational Association Commissioner. Please continue to hold the school community in your prayers as we undergo this important process for our school improvement and accreditation.
