More News, Announcements, and Thank Yous
We all enjoyed Catholic Schools Week. Congratulations and huge thanks to Mr. DellaPorta and the Student Council. They organized, prepared and led us in a spirited week celebrating Catholic education.
The Archdiocese of Seattle has asked all parents to complete an online survey about Catholic education. The letter follows this introduction. Please help us improve our schools by completing the survey. The web site is listed in the letter from the archdiocese. I have asked many teachers to attach the link for the survey to their online newsletters. I have also requested a link from our website. Look out for another survey coming soon as we continue through the accreditation process.
Dear Families,
The schools of the Archdiocese of Seattle have committed to a strategic planning process that will help us prepare more completely for our future. The Archdiocesan Catholic Schools mission is:
“To advance the mission of the Catholic Church, “to teach as Jesus did”, we offer and ensure a Catholic school education that promotes academic excellence, moral values and a commitment to service. Our mission is to make our schools affordable, available and accessible to families in the greater Seattle area who choose a faith-based education for their children. Our intent is to serve a diverse student body through the innovation, collaboration and support of the entire Catholic community.”
To better work together and share information, we are divided into “deaneries.” Our deanery spans a large geographic territory including Capital Hill, Beacon Hill, Renton, Auburn, Federal Way, Burien, Des Moines, White Center and West Seattle. The principals of these schools have been working together discussing the strengths of our schools and the challenges that collectively face us.
Now, we ask for your help. Please take time to complete this survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=JK_2bJaRsiXtJeTAYKlc8zyw_3d_3d
(Even an answer to just some of the questions will help us.) The survey is anonymous and only the compiled results will be studied by the principals. This information will help us as we step with confidence and collaboration into our future!
St. George Parish School is a Catholic school for students in pre-school through eighth grade, and since 1921 St. George has been providing excellent education to families in and around the Beacon Hill and Georgetown neighborhoods of Seattle, Washington.
