STUDENT LEARNING EXPECTATIONS

St. John Bosco Interparish School uses the acronym LASER to refer to the Student Learning Expectations, a set of  statements of what a student should know, understand, value, and be able to do by graduation. These learning outcomes were collaboratively developed in 2004 as part of our initial accreditation and have been revised and updated over the past few years to make them more measurable.
