Dear Parents/Guardians:

St. Mary’s Springs Academy is excited to announce that our System will be completing our re-accreditation process this spring through Cognia, formerly known as AdvancED.  The accreditation process is not about passing a one-time inspection, but demonstrating a persistent commitment to our students, parents and community that focuses on continuous school improvement.  This process allows St. Mary’s Springs Academy to dive deep into the trends and opportunities for improvement affecting the school as well as the different programs and services that are implemented to help support all students in achieving their highest potential. 

Over the past several months, St. Mary’s Springs Academy had the opportunity to examine the entire institution based on rigorous research-based standards and evidence-based criteria.  These standards cover the areas of leadership, learning and resource capacity.

Our accreditation will allow us to:

• Demonstrate to our students, parents, and community that we are focused on increasing student achievement, providing a safe learning environment, and maintaining an efficient and effective operation staffed by highly qualified educators
• Validate the work our System is doing meets the nationally recognized benchmark of quality and excellence
• Receive feedback that will inform our continuous improvement plan and long-term strategic goals

We are looking forward to working with the Cognia review team during our virtual site visit on May 10-12, 2021.  The team is comprised of specially trained educators and administrators who will engage with all of our stakeholder groups through interviews as well as assess our provided evidence to form a comprehensive picture of our strengths and our opportunities for growth.

We thank you, our parent/guardian partners, for your continued support of our efforts in service to our students.

Melissa Trepte, Prek-8 Assistant Principal, Accreditation Coordinator
