Tips for "The Talk"
November 29, 7pm - 8:30pm
Parents are the most influential people in their child’s lives. Shoreline Christian would like to be a resource for parents as they determine the best time to discuss the topics of puberty, sexuality, safety, and decision making with their child. The timeline for these discussions is different in each family and we, as a school, want to support those individual differences by giving parents the tools to use whenever their children are ready.

New Staff Introduction - Rachel Burke
We are excited to announce Rachel Burke is taking over as our Technology Integration Specialist (the role previously held by Kaelyn Bullock). Below is a brief introduction from Rachel.
"I'm honored to be joining the amazing teaching staff here at SCS. My family has been a part of the SCS community for almost eight years and my three children attend and love this school. We've had such a positive experience here because of the exceptional teachers and staff. When the opportunity to join this awesome team presented itself I just could not resist. I'm eager to use my teaching and programming background to support and enhance the curriculum of our teachers as well as to really dig into some coding and robotics with the students. I have a heart for encouraging people of all ages while learning things that require some degree of frustration tolerance. I'm eager to be a part of creating an environment where our students will be enthusiastic, confident, professional and innovative with technology. Please feel free to email me anytime at
rburke@shorelinechristian.org
And thank you already for such a warm welcome."

Steadfast Future: Presidential Report 2017-18
"As we celebrate 65 years of Watson Groen and Shoreline Christian School this year, we began with gratitude. Acknowledging the staff, students and families who have come before us and made this place what it is today. But our Gala in September was only a pause to catch our breath before turning toward the next 65 years. In the words of Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, 'Life can only be understood backwards, but lived forwards.'"
