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

Dear St. Celestine School Parents and Guardians,

Thank you for your support and help this Christmas season. This is a very busy time for the school.

Registration for returning families has begun. Tuition for the 2026-2027 school year is being set. Current families interested in reducing their tuition amounts are encouraged to read the information related to new family referrals included in this week’s brown envelope.

December 11 is the St. Celestine School Christmas Show. Please join us for this wonderful event!

Students must be dropped off in their classrooms by 6:30 pm.
Parents walk through the hallway from the gym to the church to get seats. (There is more seating this year due to the students being in their classrooms. Consequently, please do not run to seats.)
Church doors will open at 6:45 pm for the general audience.
Students may not have phones out in the classrooms. Their winter coats and gear will be kept in the classroom.
Students should wear red and green or Christmas attire, or dress nicely for the event. Jeans are not allowed.
At the very end of the show, parents must come to the classroom to pick up students after the performance. All children must be picked up by an adult. The students have been practicing for weeks. They are very, very excited about the show.
A videographer has been hired to record the event. Information about how to get a link of the recording will be provided next week.

Other School and Parish events include:

Toys for Tots event on December 7 from 9:00 am until noon at St. Celestine School.
The St. Celestine School Band concert is on December 8 at 7:00 pm.
On Friday, December 19, there will be an 11:00 am dismissal and Christmas Break will begin. There will be no After Care. School resumes on January 5, 2026.

There are a few other reminders. The Lost and Found is quite full. Please check for any missing items there. Starting in January, all items will be cleared away.

With Gratitude and Blessings,

Sheila M. Klich - Principal
