WCEA Survey Standards 1 and 5

Thank you for participating in our survey. Each year we are asked to reflect on two Catholic Identity standards. This year we are asked to reflect on our mission and philosophy statement and our partnership with the primary educators, our parents.

The focus of this assessment process is to build on the strengths within the school while affirming and encouraging efforts to live out the Catholic character in all aspects of the school‘s life.

Please take the time to answer each question. If you are unsure of an answer, please mark "Don't Know".

Thank you,
Holy Name School
