Dear St. Celestine School Parents and Guardians,
St. Celestine School is alive with the sounds of students learning and interacting again. The entire staff is overjoyed to be working with them as they start the year. Everyone is so happy to be back!
There are a number of events in the near future to add to your calendar.
- August 27 is Picture Day for PreK and Kindergarten.
- August 28 is Picture Day for Grades 1-8. Please review the handbook for appropriate Picture Day attire. Spaghetti straps may not be worn without a cardigan or sweatshirt covering them. Clothing should not be excessively tight or revealing.
- September 1 is a 2 pm dismissal. Teachers have a meeting after school that day.
- September 7 is Labor Day and school is not in session.
Please, if you have not already done so, return the start-of-the-year paperwork to the office. There are a number of important forms in the packet that the office needs as soon as possible.
Upon review of the Mass schedule and the calendar, the Out of Uniform days for the return of the Brown Envelope each week will be on the last Monday of each month. This is instead of the last Friday of every month.
Parents, please drive safely around the school grounds at drop-off and pick-up times. Do not park in the drop-off lane on 77th Avenue and on the Wellington side at drop-off. Traffic needs to keep moving in those spaces.
Lastly, we are in search of a morning Kindergarten aide. If you are interested in learning more about the position, please contact me at sklich@stcelestineschool.org.
We are truly a blessed school community because of our many gifts and the positive learning experience we provide for all our students. Have a wonderful week!
Blessings,
Sheila M. Klich - Principal

Dear St. Celestine School Parents and Guardians,
Welcome back! Our school year is off to a strong start! Each teacher has been spending hours preparing their rooms and their lessons for our amazing students. While being the largest Catholic school in the area, we have a wonderful family atmosphere in the school and are very happy to have started a new year.
As a reminder, hot lunch will not begin until mid-September. Please continue to send your child with healthy lunches. Noncarbonated beverages, such as water or juice may be sent. Glass bottles for those beverages are not allowed. Candy and treats in lunches should be very limited, with the emphasis being on healthy food that will sustain learning throughout the day.
Please join us this Sunday at the 11 am Mass honoring both the Class of 1976 and the current students. There is so much to celebrate!
Many school activities are beginning. School Organizations will be present at Parent Night on September 9. Parent Night is from 7 pm to 8:30 pm. This is a great opportunity to volunteer and become even more a part of your child’s learning experience and the St. Celestine School community and find ways to fulfill Service hours.
We are truly a blessed school community because of our many gifts and the positive learning experience we provide for all our students. Have a wonderful week!
Blessings,
Sheila M. Klich - Principal
