CONTINUING EDUCATION

FALL 2020 REGISTRATION OPENS SEPT 8 CLASSES START SEPT 29 REGISTER AT LANECC.EDU/CE Dear Students, Families, and Friends,

We would like to update you on what is going on at Shoreline Christian School!

While there is much uncertainty in the world today, we want you to know that we are committed to providing the most normal, in-person educational experience possible for our students this fall and the coming 2021 school year. While there are guidelines from the Oregon Department of Education that we must follow regarding COVID-19 safety protocols, because we are a small school we are much more fl exible and able to adapt than the public system.

Our current plan (which is subject to change) is to have students for grades 1 through 3 in the classroom, while grades 4 through 8 will be distance learning, until the metrics improve. We have developed our “Operational Blueprint,” which is required by the Oregon Department of Education, to ensure that we have thorough plans to comply with the new guidelines to protect our students and their families from COVID-19. You may view this document on our website at www.shorelinefl orence. org.

In other exciting news, we have a new teacher! Mrs. Sara Lasu recently arrived to start getting ready for the fast approaching start of school. We are very excited for her to be here, and we are looking forward to seeing what God has in store for Shoreline Christian School this upcoming year!

School starts September 14. If you would like an enrollment packet, Sara Lasu or just more information, please contact us using the information below. Please note that space is limited!

We hope that you are having a wonderful, safe summer and look forward to seeing and meeting you all this fall!
