Where / How to Find Information: Quick Start Guide for Shorecrest Communications
With 15 grade levels, more than 1,000 students from 700+ families, robust academic and co-curricular programs, and a campus full of student, parent and community events - a lot goes on at Shorecrest! From student-specific information about your child's class to all-school event announcements, below are the all-school Shorecrest systems that work together to keep families informed:
FACTS Family Portal
Student and family-level information, login required
FACTS Family Portal is the main Shorecrest student information system where families can access and update their contact information, sign forms, pay tuition, access a family directory, see student-specific schedules, report cards, and more. Login to the FACTS Family Portal using your email address and user-created password at https://familyportal.renweb.com/?DistrictCode=sps-fl
District code is SPS-FL
Schoology
Classroom-level information information specific to an individual student, login required
Schoology is used by all parents and students at Shorecrest. Teachers in the The Experiential School and Lower School use Schoology to post weekly news, send class announcements, provide classroom resources and post pictures. Teachers in the Middle School and Upper School utilize Schoology to facilitate class instruction as well as to post resources, assignments, class announcements and weekly grades.

Division-specific and schoolwide policy information for current families
The newly launched Parent Pages are landing pages for current families. Current community members can access the most recent Monday Heads Letters communications, links to important resources like Family Handbooks, rotation schedules and calendars, athletic team rosters, and more. The Parent Pages are organized by division and are accessible via an emailed link (sent each Monday that school is in session), via the FACTS Family Portal (login required), or via the Shorecrest Parent App (coming soon!)
Shorecrest Website (*you are here)
Publicly accessible information for all audiences
Shorecrest.org provides high-level information about the School and its people and programs for all audiences, both internal and external. Some information previously published publicly on the Shorecrest public website is now moved to internal parent pages for internal audiences only. While public calendars are up to date and accessible on shorecrest.org, current families should access the parent pages for resources including family handbooks, rotation schedules and calendars, athletic team rosters, and more.

Shorecrest Communications
Email is a primary means of communication from the School to families. Please be sure your current and best email is on file with the School.
Regular Communications -
Mondays - Division Head Letters
Each Monday you will receive an email from your child's division head sharing division-wide information and updates, and other Shorecrest announcements.
Schoology Updates
Teachers post weekly Schoology updates by 5pm each Monday. Schoology content varies by division - classroom news and photos in the Experiential and Lower Schools, and grades and teacher assignments in the Middle and Upper Schools.
When school is closed on a Monday these regular communications are sent the first day of the school week.
Shorecrest News
Shorecrest publishes an email newsletter biweekly on Fridays. Shorecrest News (formerly known as Ebytes) includes a letter from the Head of School, feature articles, photo albums and more. You can read Shorecrest News anytime at www.shorecrest.org/news.
As needed -
Families will receive emails as-needed from teachers, Division Heads, the Head of School, and from various departments. All important information from individual emails will also be posted on the Parent Pages as appropriate.
In the event of a major schedule change, like a weather closure or an emergency, Shorecrest will send text messages to families, faculty and staff. Alerts are also sent via email, posted on shorecrest.org and shared on official school social media channels, as appropriate.
