Student Life
Our Extracurricular opportunities expand our students’ enrichment outside of the classroom, including:
St. Sebastian Parish has designated the Youth Athletic Council (YAC) to implement and supervise the parish/school sports programs. This includes organizing and funding teams, selecting and training coaches, and generally oversee the athletic program. Sports include boys and girls basketball and volleyball, grades 5 through 8, as well as co-ed soccer, grades K4 - 4. An annual Awards Night is held every spring.
Complete the two forms below for each athlete.
We now have one form for Volleyball, Soccer and Basketball registration. Fill out one form per athlete. If the athlete is going to play two or more sports, please register or pre-register for all sports at the same time on one form. Please note that even though the form is for different sports, the fees are not due at the same time – the Volleyball fee is due the last week of May, the Soccer fee is due the first week of August, and the Basketball fee is due the first week of October. Your child will not be registered until the fee is received, even if the form has been turned in.
Volleyball runs from late August through October each year. Soccer runs from late August through October each year. Basketball runs from November through February each year.
Students in grades K4-5th visit the library once a week for thirty minutes. In addition to checking out books, the library staff presents book talks, library lessons, and story times for students during this time. Middle-school students use their library time to do research, homework, and to check out books.
How many books can students check out at a time, and for how long?
Up to 2 renewals are permitted if needed.
Books are due back on the day a class visits the library. Due dates are stamped on a slip of paper at the back of each book.
If a book is checked out past the due date, the book becomes overdue. Future checkouts to students with overdue books will be limited until overdue books are returned. Notices will be sent home with students indicating the book(s) that are overdue. Please return the overdue book(s) ASAP to the library. There is a book drop located outside the library should the library be closed.
Should a book become lost or damaged, it must be paid for promptly. Notices will be sent home and any payments should be brought to school in a labeled envelope.
*Note: Report cards will not be issued at the end of each quarter until all books are returned and any lost/damaged book payments are made.
In lieu of charging library fines for overdue books, we use the R.O.B.O.T. reward system. When classes consistently return their books on time they will earn a small reward in the library.

The library is accepting gently used books! If we already have a donated book in our collection, we will add the book to our used book cart outside the library or use as prizes/giveaways to students. Sales from the books on the used book cart directly benefit the library.
School lunch is an important part of the student’s day. The Food Service Department (FSD) is proud in the role it plays in providing students with appealing and nutritious lunches that are well balanced and meet the nutritional guidelines of the National School Lunch Program, administered by the USDA. Our commitment is to provide quality, nutritionally-balanced and appealing menu selections to our customers. Healthy eating patterns are essential for students to achieve their full academic potential, physical and mental growth and lifelong health and well-being.
Through the Healthy, Hunger-Free Act, the USDA is making changes for the first time in 15 years. Offer verses Serve (OVS) allows children to decline foods they do not want to eat with the goal of reducing plate waste. At lunch, the food components are:
Under OVS, the student must take at least three components in the required serving sizes and one selection must be at least 1/2 cup from either the fruit or vegetable component. Students who need a substitution for milk can replace it with juice if a doctor’s note and allergy form is on file.
This year’s lunch prices reflect the costs the FSD has incurred for food & supplies, and utility usage and reflect what other District 12 schools are charging.
| Meal Prices | |
| PreK thru 5 | $4.00 |
| 6 thru 8 | $4.00 |

Faith Formation
Faith is the foundation for all we do at Saint Sebastian Catholic School. Although we have daily lessons in Religion class, our focus in faith permeates the course of each day and year.
Parents are their children’s first and primary educators in faith. We believe our role as faith-filled educators is to partner with families, growing together in relationship with God and in support of each child experiencing such an incredible lifelong gift, unmatched by anything the world can offer.
We believe the investment in nurturing and growing the seeds your child’s faith together in our vibrant, loving community is a critical and impactful investment in your child’s present and future.
Our commitment to faith is evident in the following opportunities during the course of our year:
And of course, on-going opportunities to grow in faith through our parish of Saint Sebastian.
