Dear Saint Joan of Arc Parents,

Welcome back to the 2024-2025 school year! We hope you and your family had a restful and enjoyable summer. As we begin another exciting school year, we want to express how thrilled we are to welcome your child back to Saint Joan of Arc.

This year promises to be filled with enriching experiences, new opportunities, and continued dedication to providing a nurturing, challenging educational and spiritual experience for every student. We are eager to see our students thrive as they engage in innovative projects, explore new subjects, and grow academically while learning more about their faith.

Please mark your calendars for our Back-to-School Night this Friday, August 23rd, where you’ll have the chance to meet with teachers and learn about some of the wonderful opportunities at Saint Joan of Arc. Additionally, keep an eye out for updates in our weekly newsletter which will provide important information and keep you informed about school happenings.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We are truly excited about the year ahead and look forward to working with you to make it a memorable and successful year for all our students.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Picchione
