Dear St. Celestine School Families,

We are in the second half of summer and the fun continues!

Mark your calendar for the St. Mother Theodore Guerin Parish Picnic on Sunday, July 26, 2026. It begins at 10:00 am, with an 11:00 am Mass and is at Evans Field in River Grove. Please note the flyer for more details.

Organization Day is on August 4, 2026 from 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm at St. Celestine School. This is when parents receive classroom assignments, important school paperwork, and the opportunity to get involved with various parish and school organizations. The office will be open for families to make payment if they have any outstanding balances. There is also going to be a gently used uniform sale in the lunchroom.

Registration for cross country and girls volleyball is ongoing. Please look at the flyers for deadlines and instructions on how to register your child.

Please note that there are spaces in many grades and current families get a $300 tuition reduction in April 2027, if they refer a family that registers and stays through at least the first trimester of the school year.

I am sharing flyers about our upcoming PreK program and our programming in grades K-8. Please share them with anyone you may know looking for a school.

Sincerely,

Sheila M. Klich - Principal
