A Look at the School Budget From the VP's Point of View
Posted by Andrea DeYoung, School Board Vice Presidnet
|
|
While January marks the start of a new calendar year, it is right in the middle of our fiscal year at Shoreline Christian. And that means budget season. We have talked to you before about our budget process, at Society Meetings and in blog posts, but it’s a topic that benefits from revisiting from time to time.
Our school is a bit different--I know you know this, but humor me. Our approach to education and community, our teachers and students, our alumni, even our campus reflect the ecosystem we so often reference. It should be no surprise then that our budget process also reflects this balance and philosophy.

It's Chili Supper Week!
Even though there will be no school
this Friday, you can dine in the church basement (across the parking lot from from school) from
5:00-7:00 pm at the Staff sponsored Chili Supper. This year's feed will include a "Chili Cook-off". Several staff members will be cooking up batches of their personal chili recipes. You'll be able to vote for your favorite.
If you are donating homemade bars or cookies for dessert, you may drop them off in the school office or the elementary kitchen
on Thursday or bring them to the church basement before
5:00
on Friday. Thank you for your help. Join the fun and the feasting on the 27th! Proceeds from this night go towards funds for professional development for the staff.

- Children should be free of fever for 24 hours, without medication.
- Children should be free of vomiting or diarrhea for 24 hours.
- Children should also be kept home if they have any of the following: draining rash, eye discharge or pink eye, fatigue that prevents participation in regular activities.

It is the time of year when the head lice population wants to stand up and be counted. If your child is found to have head lice, we ask that you carefully follow the
CDC guidelines. Also, please call or email your child’s teacher to let him/her know. By taking care of this at home we save valuable teaching time, and you help our other families.
As for school attendance, pediatricians and health care officials tell us that a child found to have head lice may attend school after receiving the treatment outlined in the attachment and the parent performs regular scalp checks following the treatment.
