The St. Mary School mission statement assert, "As they develop their unique gifts, students become responsible, competent, and socially-conscious learners." The Schoolwide (Student) Learning Expectations (SLE's) further define this statement. The Student Learning Portfolio (SLP) is designed to address these basic premises, and provide students with the means to understand how these premises are integrated in their academic studies at St. Mary School.

SUMMARY

Students will be required to perform an initial self-assessment and subsequent periodic self-evaluation throughout the year. In order for students to recognize their achievement of SLE's, they will collect, organize, and finally present evidence of this achievement in a formal interview. A binder will be presented at the formal interview, containing their reflections, evidence, answers to questions, and their final self-assessment.
