Shore Statements

• Vision Statement: Shore Elementary Magnet School students will use the arts to shine academically in reading and math to be successful leaders within the community.
• Mission Statement: Shore Elementary Magnet School students will be given quality and purposeful instruction, driven by the students that will result in student proficiency and growth.
• Diversity Statement: Shore Elementary Magnet School of the Arts welcomes all students regardless of race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion and gender. We embrace diverse backgrounds and differences and help encourage all students to reach their full potential through academic and artistic excellence.

Student Hours: Campus opens at 8:15 AM and school is in session from 8:45 AM until 3:00 PM (2:00 PM on Early Release Mondays).

Tardy Policy: Students are late after the 8:45 AM bell rings. If your child is not in class by 8:45 AM, they are tardy and you will need to ring the bell and sign them in the Front Office.

Absences: If your child is absent, please call the Main Office before 9:00 AM. Listen for the automated attendance prompt to report the absence and please state the student's name, homeroom teacher, reason for absence, and your name and contact number.

Early Sign-Out: If you need to sign your child out early, we require that you do 1 hour before dismissal. Otherwise, you must wait until dismissal. To sign a child out, ring the bell at the Front Office and have a valid ID.

We are thankful for all the Shore Families and your commitment to your child’s education. As we continue our journey through learning, we ask that students continue to read every night. Reading is fundamental in all aspects of education. Students are also recognized monthly for achieving goals! Our Mindsetters are voted on monthly by their peers for showing the Mindset of the month with this month's focus on We Are Connected. November is an exciting month with the Great American Teach-In happening this month! As we approach Thanksgiving and Fall Break, we thank all the students for their hard work and all the Shore staff and families for making our school an amazing place to learn! Thank you for choosing Shore.

Michelle Pryor, Principal
