Renewing the Vision - May 2008 Update
Even though we are approaching the end of the school year, MSCS’s Renewing the Vision reaccreditation process is still going strong. The action plan committees submitted their reports to the planning committee for review, and on Tuesday, April 29, the committee met to discuss each of the four teams’ work. The planning committee outlined the strengths and areas which need revision for each plan. Over the next few weeks, each action plan committee will finalize its report which will be presented to the visiting Middle States team in the fall of 2008.
Middle States Survey Results - As part of Monsignor Slade’s Renewing the Vision reaccreditation process, a school-climate survey was developed for all Slade parents and students in grades 3-8. A total of 260 parents and 546 students responded. Please note that the “Skipped Question” totals reflect non-relevant questions for a particular group.
