Dear Friends and Families of Assumption Regional Catholic Schools,

I continue to be humbled and honored to lead such a dynamic school guided by a loving
God. As you know, I have a strong passion for academic excellence in Catholic education and
therefore, I am committed to always exploring new ways to meet the needs of all students.
At Assumption, my goal is to build upon and continue the existing culture of excellence.
I want you to know that I will always seek to move our school in a forward direction. As
we embark on this new school year, ARCS will be offering new resources to meet the
rigorous goals in our curriculum, to extend our athletic programs, extracurricular activities and
after school clubs. Additionally, we have created a FLEX program for our middle school
students.

This year we continue to be focused on school security and safety, renovating our facility and
upgrading our technology for teachers and students. We will also be planning professional
development programs for our teachers in both faith formation and teaching strategies.
We have an exceptional faculty and staff who provide a faith filled and enriching educational
experience for our students. They all work diligently to create warm, safe, and encouraging
classrooms as they bring their best practices to those classrooms for our eager and bright
Assumption Regional Catholic School students.
I wholeheartedly believe in open communication, transparency, collaboration, and teamwork.
Throughout the school year, you can expect regular communication from me and always know
that my door is open to you. I sincerely welcome your conversation and positive input as we are
partners in your child’s education.


Sincerely
Joanne McKnight, M.Ed.
Principal
