Dear St. Celestine School Parents and Guardians,

Halloween is just around the corner and I am re-sharing the reminders about costumes. They are:

  • Weapons of any kind are not allowed.
  • No masks, gory makeup, face paint, hair dye.
  • Appropriate hats are allowed if they are part of their costume.
  • Girls must have skirts knee length and should be worn with leggings/tights.
  • No sleeveless shirts or tank tops are allowed.
  • Costumes must allow for freedom of movement.
  • Violent characters or costumes going against our Catholic beliefs are not allowed.
  • Costumes may not include representations of political figures, symbols, slogans, or support any political parties or movements. The goal is to maintain a positive and inclusive environment in which all students feel comfortable and respected.

The Halloween costume parade will be in the back half of the parking lot, rather than around the block this year. It will begin at 9 am. This allows for greater security. Parents are asked to form a ring around the area, and students will parade in the middle.

Basketball games have begun, and I am re-sharing the schedule (CLICK HERE) with you. On October 25, St. Celestine School is hosting its first-ever Fall Fest from 12 pm until 3 pm. There will be games and activities galore!

Mandatory raffle tickets and money were due on October 20. All outstanding money not submitted by October 27 will be added to family FACTS accounts.

Please also be patient during drop off and pick up, since the Village has begun construction on Wellington. Please allow for extra time. In other drop-off and pick-up news, we wish the very best to Tony, one of our crossing guards, who is retiring. May God bless him during his retirement.

Have a wonderful week.

With Gratitude and Blessings,

Sheila M. Klich - Principal

Dear St. Celestine School Parents and Guardians,

What an exciting time of the year! Basketball games have begun, and I am sharing the schedule (CLICK HERE) with you. On October 25, St. Celestine School is hosting its first-ever Fall Fest from 12 pm until 3 pm. There will be games and activities galore!

St. Celestine School Mandatory Fundraiser for 2025 has been ongoing. If families need more tickets, they are available in the office. All ticket sales and money are due October 20.

Last week, parents received an invitation from the Archdiocese to complete a survey on school satisfaction. While I know it is sometimes human nature for people to do surveys only when they are displeased, I am asking you to complete the survey so that the school has a picture of what is working, what might need improvement, and ways to continue to serve our children. Please complete the survey so I know what to keep, what to change, and what deserves attention. Thank you for any attention you can give the survey - the information received from it is very helpful.

Have a wonderful week.

With Gratitude and Blessings,

Sheila M. Klich - Principal
