Re-enrollment for the 2021-2022 school year at Shorecrest will open online Monday, February 1. Families will receive an email that morning with the necessary links and instructions to re-enroll current students. Please complete the re-enrollment process by Monday, February 15, to guarantee your child’s space for next school year.

Our next book club meeting is Thursday, February 11 at 7pm (EST) and the selection is "The Book of Lost Names" by Kristin Harmel.

When conducting technology-related professional learning experiences, I often start my sessions with the video “Know Your Why” by comedian Michael Jr. The lesson shared is that “when you know your ‘why’ then your ‘what’ has more impact, because you’re working towards your purpose.”

The Shorecrest community and activities are featured annually in our yearbook, “Crestviews.” This student-made publication is free for seniors and $50 for others to purchase.

Dr. Anna Baralt and Katy Deegan from the Shorecrest Technology Department will provide a presentation for parents/guardians called, “What Your Child is Really Doing Online: A Workshop for Parents of Pre-Teens.” Please join us virtually on Wednesday, February 17 at 8:30am.

School Counselors Kate Fierce (grades K-8) and Courtney Ellis (grades 9-12) will lead a meaningful presentation and Q&A regarding the manifestation and effects of stress and anxiety in ourselves and children. 

Summer programs are a tradition at Shorecrest. A variety of programs are being planned for students age 4-grade 12.

Heather Vidal is a Literacy Specialist in The Learning Center at Shorecrest Preparatory School. She shared some of her tested techniques with other educators in a new book, “Teach Reading with Orton-Gillingham: 72 Classroom-Ready Lessons to Help Struggling Readers and Students with Dyslexia Learn to Love Reading.” The book offers research-based suggestions and lesson plans to make reading multisensory and engaging.

Shorecrest is proud to announce the creation of the Doris and Donna Friendship Fund, the first gift of its kind, supporting both the completion of Charger Commons and the opportunity for a full, four-year scholarship for a deserving student.
