Fall Conference Sign Up
November 8 is a scheduled conference day for all Experiential School parents/guardians. Log in to https://shorecrest.learning.powerschool.com today and sign up for a Fall Conference on the teacher’s webpage for your child’s class. Appointment times will be offered in 30-minute increments. Fall and spring conferences will be the same appointment time, so when you sign up, you are scheduling the appointment time for both conferences. Contact the teacher via email if you need to schedule a parent-teacher conference on an alternative date. 

During the conference, the teacher will share your student’s portfolio to communicate progress in all areas of development (cognitive, social and emotional, personal, fine motor, gross motor) and make their learning visible. Teachers will discuss children’s growth, both as an individual student and as a classroom member. Strengths and areas needing support will be communicated and an action plan will be formed if needed.

Registration for School Closed Child Care
Plan ahead for conference day child care. School is not in session on November 8, but child care for the half or full day is available by advance reservation. You must register a week in advance to reserve a space. Click here, to sign up https://shorecrest.campbrainregistration.com/.

Intentional Parenting Group: What kind of parent do you want to be? 
Three-part series: September 27, October 11, October 25.
Have you been looking for a community of like-minded parents who desire to be intentional and mindful in their parenting journey? Dr. Sherri Danyali (Director of The Experiential School of Tampa Bay) and Shannon Lipan (Founder of The Wonder Studio) want to offer a safe space ("What happens in the parent group, stays in parent group") through discussion, games, and the sharing of information and ideas that can help participants discover what kind of parent they would like to be. Our first meeting will include "Designing your family mantra and why.” Bring a journal and pen so we can brainstorm and record ideas and inspirations. The goal of the workshop is to offer practical methods that will make your relationships with your children more rewarding and less stressful. 

Sessions will begin with coffee and munchies from 8:15-8:30am and follow with a presentation, activities, and conversations from 8:30-9:30am. 

To encourage dialogue and the sharing of personal experiences, space is limited to fifteen participants who can commit to attending all 3 sessions. Less than 5 spots remain. To RSVP, email both [email protected] and [email protected].
