Our Schoolwide Learning Expectations (SLEs) were generated at a special Stakeholders’ meeting in the Spring of 2007 that included faculty, staff, parents, parishioners and students. Each classroom is equipped with an SLE poster. Teachers incorporate these SLEs into their lesson plans, instilling in their students what it means to be a St. Alphonsus Parish School graduate.
