Pre-K to 8th Grade. Dual Language Immersion

Message from our Principal

Dear Saint Sebastian Family,

Affirmation of the week: “My life is as good as my mindset.” Your life reflects the quality of your thoughts. When we look for the worst, we train our minds to see only problems, which narrows our focus. By shifting toward positivity, we unlock the resilience and drive needed to find a way forward through challenges rather than feeling stuck in place. Your mind is the window to your world. If the glass is dirty, every day will look gloomy. Wipe the window clean so you can see the beauty and possibilities right in front of you.

Mr. Andrew Suk
Principal

Due to a communication oversight, the previously shared date for the end of the school year (June 12th) was incorrect.

The official last day of school is Wednesday, June 17th.

We understand that many of you may have already finalized summer travel or childcare plans based on the June 12th date. Please know that attendance from June 15th through June 17th is optional. If your family has already made arrangements, your child will not be penalized for being absent on those final days.

For students who do attend, we look forward to spending those extra days celebrating their hard work and enjoying the last days of the 2025-2026 school year.

  • June 12th will be a normal half day of school with lunch and aftercare.

  • Lunch service will continue into June 16th.

  • June 17th will be a half day with no lunch or aftercare.

Thank you for your understanding and for your continued partnership in making this school year a success!
