School Family Referrals As you may have heard, Pinecrest Schools will be closing all five of their campuses at the end of this school year. Do you know any families that attend Pinecrest Schools?
At Shepherd, we know that the best way to spread the word about our school is through the recommendations of our church members and school parents to family, friends, and neighbors. Please share your SOV experience with others, especially any Pinecrest families that could benefit from being part of the Shepherd family.
Shepherd is pleased to accept referrals at any time. With our open enrollment policy, students can be admitted throughout the school year.
If you know of any families looking for options for their children, please let us know . Thank you in advance. |
