Please review St. Celestine School’s Handbook as it relates to attendance. Please note that vacations do not constitute excused absences, and the school is not obligated to provide work prior to or during vacations. I will be contacting individual families if students have been excessively absent to determine supportive and effective next steps. Rather than being punitive, this policy exists to ensure student success in academics… – Lastly, every year the Archdiocese of Chicago administers the 5 Essentials Survey to parents, teachers, and students. The insights gathered help guide planning, strengthen school culture, and support continued growth across our community. Strong participation truly makes a difference, highlighting successes and areas for attention for the years ahead. I am asking you to take some time and complete the survey using the link provided. This helps inform the choices made and direction the school takes in the future. I thank you, in advance, for the information you provide by taking the survey… – And More…
