In June 2016, PowerSchool, the #1 provider of K-12 education technology solutions, acquired Haiku Learning. Our Haiku system and teacher pages have been renamed as PowerSchool Learning. A login is required to use PowerSchool Learning, and the information has been emailed to all Shorecrest parents.
Event Parking
When there is an event on campus during the school day and many parents are invited and need parking spaces, an event parking area is opened on the soccer field across from the main Admin building (the wood building which houses Mike Murphy's office and Admissions.) There will be a sign stating "Event Parking" when weather permits and the field is open. Look for parking here during special events such as award ceremonies or theatre performances.
