Dear St. Celestine School Parents and Guardians,

Please remember that the last day of school before break is December 19. We will have an 11 am dismissal and there is no after care.

Please join me in thanking our many organizations, parents, and volunteers for their help in making the Christmas season festive. Together we work to give our students the very best. I want to celebrate this and the ways it helps make our students happier and better people.

The St. Celestine School Tree Trim, hosted by our school organizations is Sunday, December 14 immediately after the 11 am Mass.

As we get closer to Christmas break, there are a few other random reminders.

  • The lost and found items that are not picked up before break will be donated.
  • Students who are absent 3 days, will need a doctor’s note to return, as this is school policy.
  • Students must be fever free for 24 hours without medication to return to school.
  • 8th Grade Graduation pictures are on January 7, 2026.
  • Registration for the 2026-2027 school year has begun for current school families. If you refer a new family to St. Celestine School and they enroll, you have the ability to get a tuition reduction. Please see the information sent home last week for details.

Please drive carefully at drop off and pick up, particularly with the presence of snow and ice. Obviously, the safety of our students, parents, crossing guards and staff are very important.

Also, Common Sense Media provides a helpful tool for parents to determine how appropriate different media is for kids. We encourage you to use it as a resource. It can be accessed at https://www.commonsensemedia.org/.

Thanks so much for everything you do to support St. Celestine School.

With Gratitude, Blessings, and Holiday Cheer,

Sheila M. Klich - Principal
