God’s abundant grace and peace, Class of 2024 families!

My name is Ms. Eltiste and this year I am stepping into the role of Director of Student Life. One aspect of my new role is overseeing Senior Activities and Commencement. I look forward to walking with you all through your student’s senior year and am praying for your student as they step into their last year of high school!

If you have any questions or concerns about the school year ahead, please do not hesitate to email me at [email protected].

We will celebrate the Class of 2024 throughout the year with monthly Senior Lunches and other fun senior activities! The Senior Parent/Guardian Committee is made up of willing parents/guardians who help facilitate and organize these senior activities throughout the year. If you are interested in volunteering for this, we would LOVE to have you! Please, complete this Senior Parent/Guardian Committee Interest Form and I will follow up with you.

You should have received a flyer in the mail from South Coast Photographic regarding your senior portrait. For your convenience, they have pre-scheduled an appointment for you. You must keep your customer number and password to change your appointment, view proofs, and order online at: southcoastphotographic.com. Please go to their website before your session and log in to verify your contact information and email address.

Please complete your appointment as soon as possible. Remember, there is a deadline for the yearbook images so please do not delay! South Coast Photographics is our school’s official senior portrait photographer and your image must be taken by them to be published in the yearbook.

We are hosting a Senior Sunrise Devotion on Friday, August 11 at 6:00 a.m. at Saints Stadium. This will be a sweet time for the Class of 2024 to come together to see the sunrise, enjoy a light breakfast, pick-up their senior t-shirt, worship, and listen to a quick devotional. After Senior Sunrise, students will be able to head over to Building A for Returning Saints Day.

Seniors will begin the process of completing various graduation-related tasks and pick-up their student ID cards, class schedules, and parking permits on Friday, August 11 from 7:30-8:30 a.m. in Building A.

Representatives from Herff Jones will be on site to distribute information for ordering caps & gowns as well as other Class of 2024 regalia. Click here to review their brochure.

• Parking Permit Applications

For the 2023-2024 school year, Crean Lutheran High School will issue parking permits based on a lottery system. Any Senior wishing to apply for a parking permit must submit an application between July 3, 2023 - August 4, 2023. Students may not apply for a permit prior to obtaining a California Driver’s License. In order for an application to be considered complete, the student must have attended a Smart Start driving class. 

At the close of the application window, Senior applications will be reviewed and a lottery will be conducted for main campus permits. Any Senior not receiving a Main Campus permit will be issued an Athletic Complex permit as space allows. Applications received after August 4 will be placed on a waiting list for a parking permit. There is no guarantee that students who submit an application will receive a parking permit. We strongly encourage students to carpool, when possible, to free up permits for other students.

For more information about the application process and to access the application form, please visit our website. If you have any questions about Student Parking Permits, please email [email protected].

• Schedules

In order to access your student schedule in Aeries, please be sure to complete the data confirmation process online through your Parent Aeries account before August 11. Once this is completed your class schedule will be accessible through both your student and parent Aeries portals. Counselors will be available to discuss schedules at Returning Saints Day.
