The last day of instruction for the 2016-2017 school year at Catalyst Circle Rock and Catalyst Maria will be Thursday June 15, 2017.  Dismissal for scholars still in attendance (some scholars may have graduated prior to this date) will be at 1:00 PM.  If you have any questions, please contact the school team at Catalyst Circle Rock (773-945-5025) or Catalyst Maria (773-993-1770). 

On May 4, Catalyst Circle Rock will celebrate the kick-off of their partnership with Chicago Sinfonietta and Circle Urban Ministries for Austin Orchestrates. This year-long partnership will feature many community events featuring incredible music performances.  At the May 4 launch party there will be a performance by the Ravinia-sponsored Circle Rockets Orchestra and African drum and dance demonstrations! We hope that you will be able to join us at this event and the many exciting opportunities throughout the upcoming year! 

The Catalyst Circle Rock and Catalyst Maria 2016-2017 water testing produced “lead-free” results, with none of the faucets or fountains in either building having a reading near the EPA threshold of 16 ppb. The physical reports from these tests are kept at both buildings and are available for inspection as requested.

Catalyst Circle Rock Kindergarten scholar Armani C. was featured on both local and national news programs for her decision to feed the homeless rather than have a birthday party!  Armani’s awesome display of service and leadership is an inspiration for scholars, staff and our school communities! The image below of Armani is linked to an ABC news story that details Armani’s leadership!
