Congratulations and thank you to Ms. Hatfield, Mrs. Jeatran, Ms. Moore, and Mrs. Abell for their work with the 8th graders on the Young Audience Radio Show, A Jazz Story. The students did an excellent job. They also were supported by Mrs. Jeatran, and the middle school teachers. Thanks to the visiting musicians, David and Steve Allee, and Brayton Jones, from Zionsville High School.
Thanks to Mrs. Ditsch and Mrs. Groves for their assistance and preparation for Math Pentathlon Competition. I also wish to thank the parents who spent the day supporting the teams and feeding them!
Our track team is doing very well and is supported by many parent volunteers. Thank you! We need your help to make these events the very best.
Thanks to Mrs. Jeatran for arranging the plant sale again this year! I know she had help from her seventh graders, thank you!
Progress Reports were sent home yesterday. Please review page 10 in your school handbook if you have questions about athletic eligibility. As stated in the handbook, students who do not turn in their homework on time may become ineligible to participate. Please encourage your children to give it their very best these last weeks of school.

Jeanne Conner will continue as part time in the Preschool program. She will join Peggy Kline and Peggy Johnson, who will also be teaching part time preschool classes!

A Letter from the Principal:
Welcome to the Principal's Page
I am in my sixth year as principal at St. Joan of Arc School. I am proud to say this school has the best faculty and staff in the city of Indianapolis. If you don’t believe me, just ask around!
I am a product of Catholic schools. I believe Catholic schools provide an excellent education. St. Joan of Arc is even a step beyond the others because our community is truly diverse religiously, socio-economically, racially and culturally. This allows our students to learn with a more realistic understanding of the world. This is why we believe St. Joan of Arc is your best choice for Catholic Education.
The school is fully accredited, preschool through eighth grade, by the State of Indiana and the North Central Accreditation Association. Recently, St, Joan of Arc, along with the other schools in the Archdiocese, had our accreditation status changed from regular to Freeway Accreditation. This provides for some flexibility in exchange for achieving and maintaining high levels of performance. The flexibility will allow us to focus on school improvement in the areas of Catholic Identity, academics, and institutional advancement. St. Joan of Arc School has also been designated as an Exemplary School by the State of Indiana, as well.
Be sure to check out the link on the left side of the page, Accreditation/ISTEP to see our dramatic improvement over the past 5 years.
The school provides some financial assistance, and accepts CHOICE Charitable Trust funding.
Again, welcome, and please contact me at mpsharpe@sjoa.org if I can answer additional questions or take you on a tour of the school.
Our school parents are very supportive and would be most happy to talk to about SJA as well. Contact sabell@sjoa.org if you would like to learn more about the school from a school parent perspective.
