Happy New Year


                                                 
Dear Saint John’s Parents,
“Happy New Year”.   What a perfect time of year it is to reflect on the past year, as well as to self-evaluate, and set our New Years’ resolutions and goals.  In an effort to continue to strive to make Saint John’s School the very best it can be, we are asking you parents to complete the following three surveys. The surveys are part of our self-assessment that is a critical component of the AdvancED Self-Assessment.  The AdvancED Self-Assessment is designed to serve as a valuable tool that will assist our school in reflecting upon our effectiveness as well as to prepare us for our upcoming Quality Assurance Review which will happen this spring. 
The Self-Assessment is based on Standards, which serve as the foundation of the AdvancED accreditation process.  In order to earn and maintain accreditation, schools must meet the Standards, engage in a process of continuous improvement and host a Quality Assurance Review (QAR) at least once every five years.  The SA has been designed to engage the school community in an in-depth evaluation of each of the standards, which assists a school to identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.  
Your input as parents is highly valued as a part of this in-depth evaluation.  PLEASE GIVE YOUR FEEDBACK AS PARTNERS IN YOUR CHILD’S EDUCATION BY COMPLETING THESE SURVEYS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BUT NO LATER THAN, FRIDAY,  JANUARY 25. Thank you in advance for making this request a top priority to help Saint John’s continue to be an outstanding Catholic School.  Please be assured that your responses to this survey will be anonymous. Your honest opinion is appreciated.
Gratefully, Shannon Lotz, Chairperson for QAR experience & Lois Schmitt, Principal
