School-wide Learning Expectations (SLE's)

The Basic Education Act of 1993 led to the development of four learning goals which have provided the foundation for the development of all academic learning standards in Washington State.

At All Saints School we have adapted and expanded upon these standards to fit the Catholic school model. Our Student Learning Expectations (SLE's) were first developed as part of the self-study for our first accreditation in 1998. Since that time, they have gone through various revisions. The SLE's provide a benchmark against which excellence can be measured in a tangible way.

The following is a listing of our SLE's and can be found posted in every classroom.
