6/7 Camp had a full week, and K-5 Spring Camp is just around the corner.  Please note that we will have a slightly different plan for lunch on Tuesday (the day that most K-5 students will go to camp).  On that day, K-5 will come to lunch at 11:30 and have 20 minutes to eat.  Journey can either go out to recess while K-5 eats or come to lunch at 11:50 and then go outside. Thank you for your flexibility as we launch K-5 off to camp.

FUTURE SCOTS VISIT: HELPFUL

Please see below for information regarding the Future Scots event on June 6th.  This is for 8th Grade students who plan on attending Shorecrest. Keep in mind, this event is happening during K-5 camp.  In case students are asking you about the event, here is the information I have been given:

Future Scots Visit (8th Grade Students and Families)- Please see information below from SC Activities Coordinator:

Class of 2027 Shorecrest students are invited to our "Future Scots Welcome Morning" on Tuesday, June 6 from 9:00-10:10.This is a time for our new students to learn a little more about high school from older students who put on a program with information and performances in the gym and we follow it up with a question and answer session in small groups facilitated by student leaders.

Please arrive between 8:50-9:00 on Tuesday, June 6. Students may be dropped off at the Gym building on the south end of campus. Students will need to carpool or ride with family to Shorecrest.  A bus will be provided from Shorecrest to Cascade K-8 after the event ends.  We’ll have a welcome table set up and we’d like you to check in and get your name tag.

After the program in the Gym, we will walk to the Commons (our cafeteria) in the Main Building for a small group question and answer session. We’ll be putting new-to-the-district students together in small groups so that they can get to know each other.

We will dismiss at 10:10 in order to transition before our students come down to the Commons during a passing period.

This event is targeted to students and we don’t have special programming for parents. However, you are welcome to join us in the Gym and the Commons as a "fly on the wall". Please check in at the welcome table if you are a parent/guardian attending the event.

Tours of the school will not happen June 6, but will take place at the New Student Kick Off on the evening of August 31 (6:00-7:45) and at the New Student Orientation on the morning of September 5. 

For questions and to RSVP (only necessary if currently out-of-district), please email Shorecrest Activity Coordinator:  johanna.phillips@ssd412.org
