Backpack Option
ES families now have the option to purchase a backpack from Lands' End (either with or without the Shorecrest logo) to use instead of a tote bag if you would like to do so. This backpack can hold rest time things plus a lunchbox and snack. It comes in evergreen and may be found on the Lands' End website.

Morning Carline Volunteers Make a Difference
Consider starting your day by making sure children are welcomed to school and safely walked into the hand of a safety patrol. Working together, parent volunteers, school faculty, and administrators arrive early to open car doors, unbuckle students from their car seats, and walk them to the safety patrols. With the help of parent volunteers, carline will run more smoothly and safely. Please contact Rebecca Armacost [email protected] if you can volunteer any morning between 7:25 - 7:55am.

Full Day Dismissal Reminders
Thanks to all our parents for their patience. It takes a few days to make carline flow smoothly. Safety is our number one priority. Parents and guardians can improve the efficiency of dismissal by adhering to the following guidelines:

Place the car tag with child’s name on your lowered visor
Stay in your car and let the Shorecrest faculty buckle your child into their car seat

New Procedures:

Enter the right lane if you are picking up an Experiential School student and a Lower School sibling
Enter the left lane if you are picking up an Experiential student only
Follow the officer’s instructions. You may be directed into a different lane.
