Bookstore
The online Crean Lutheran bookstore offers books in both new and used formats, and in some cases you may even rent books for the year. Many of our books are available in a digital format, which allows students the freedom to access their books nearly anywhere without the hassle of carrying around the extra weight.
Where can I find a list of all required books for my classes?
Required books can be found through the bookstore website link below. A Crean Lutheran student issued email address must be used when purchasing textbooks, this will allow students to view their Canvas courses and their required materials to purchase. Once you view your course list, click on your class (e.g., Algebra I) and you will see the required textbooks and what choices you have for new, used, rental, etc.
What is the return policy if I change a class?
Students can return books up to 30 days after the school start date in the ORIGINAL condition that they were delivered in (new, used, etc). We would recommend not opening shrink-wrap, access cards, or writing names in brand new books/items until the student's schedule is set as these items can not be returned after being opened or used. Once they have been opened or used, returns will not be accepted since the item will not be able to be sold again. Parents will be responsible for return shipping and placing a new order if they drop a class.
In the event that you should need to return an item, please contact the customer service team at 1-877-284-6744. You can also contact them via email or live chat by visiting the Virtual Bookstore at clshs.etechcampus.com.

Summer School
No one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:11
Summer School
Crean Lutheran summer school courses are open to all high school age students, regardless of the school they attend during the academic year, unless noted otherwise in the course description.
Crean Lutheran High School’s comprehensive Summer School program allows students to prepare for subsequent courses for advancement; to remediate courses students struggled in during the year; and achieve academic goals for college and career readiness. Many of these courses are taken by incoming students, thereby allowing them to better balance their academic and extracurricular workload during the academic year. Our experienced teachers design quality courses to meet educational standards and experiences for all students.
All new students must complete a Technology Orientation, which will provide information related to using Canvas: our course management system. Students will sign up for a Technology Orientation during the Summer School Registration process.

Course Offerings
Graduation Requirements
Technology: Orientation, Laptop Requirements, Student Emails, Canvas
Technology Orientation
All new students must attend a Technology Orientation. It is important that at least one parent is present during the orientation. The Technology Orientation is designed to help new students get started with Canvas before classes begin. Canvas, our Learning Management System (LMS), contains all student courses, assignments, due dates, and daily grades. Parents can create Canvas parent accounts to observe their student's grades and work.
Laptop Requirements
Technology is an integral part of the educational process at Crean Lutheran High School. The school utilizes the latest technologies to enhance education and further equip students to impact their world for Christ. To help fulfill this mission, all students are required to purchase and bring their own laptop computer that meets the Laptop Requirements. In order for students to be allowed to access the Internet and use technology systems while in school it is required that both the parent and the student read and sign the Technology Use Agreement.
Student Emails
Each student will be assigned a Crean Lutheran High School student email address. Crean Lutheran High School requires the use of student email as an effective and efficient way to improve communication between students, faculty members, and administrative staff. The primary purpose of student email is to support teaching and learning. Crean Lutheran High School email accounts are housed on a Google mail server, thereby giving the student access to G Suite applications (word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation software) and Google Drive (online cloud storage). These features allow teachers and students to share information housed in these file areas with others at Crean Lutheran High School.
Canvas
All courses at Crean Lutheran High School utilize technology and Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) to provide a highly interactive, Christ-centered learning environment where students interact with the teacher, fellow students, and the content to master the course-specific learning outcomes. Students will use their Crean Lutheran High School student email account to log into Canvas in order to access course homework and grades. Parents may sign up for a free Canvas Observer account to view their student’s grades in Canvas.
College Scholarships
Scholarships are a large part of the college application process. There are three different types of scholarships:
Institutional Scholarships: These are scholarships given to you directly from the institution and are normally merit or talent based. Most of these applications are tied directly to your application to the institution.
Need-Based Scholarships: The FAFSA must be completed in order to determine if you are eligible for "need-based" aid through the government, state or institution. Financial Aid Night is hosted at Crean Lutheran High School in the Fall of the student's senior year.
Private Scholarships: These are the most competitive types of scholarships and can be in any form. You must find and apply for these types of scholarships independently. See below for some helpful resources.

Once the commitment is made, upon approval, club status will be granted.

Tuition & Fee Payment Instructions (FACTS)
Tuition Payments
Every family is required to have a FACTS account to pay tuition, re-enrollment, and other fees. Tuition payments are due on the first of every month (delinquent after the 10th). If you elect automatic online payments in FACTS, you will receive a confirmation email with payment dates and amounts once you select a payment plan. A $30.00 late fee is charged if a payment is received after the 10th. If you are submitting payments by check, please allow three to five business days for processing.
FACTS account LOGIN
Incidental/Fee Payments
Option 1: Pay the incidental fee by the listed due date online through FACTS or submit a check to the front desk.
Option 2: In your FACTS account, select AUTO PAY to allow incidental fees to process automatically on the due date.
If you have not set up your FACTS account, please email Erika Walter, Student Accounts Administrator, at walter@creanlutheran.org
Financial Aid Introduction
As a returning Crean Lutheran High School family with a current financial aid award, you have 3 options in regard to your upcoming financial aid award. Please review the options listed below and then sign into your FACTS account. Once you are signed in, click on 2021-22 Financial Aid Options form on the right side of your home screen and complete this form by Monday, November 23. Failure to make a selection by the deadline may jeopardize the school’s ability to guarantee the current financial aid award. If you do not have a FACTS account set up, please contact Erika Walter, walter@creanlutheran.org, or 949-387-1199.
Financial aid is awarded individually to each enrolled student. If you will have a change in the number of enrolled students due to a new incoming student, you have the option to accept the same financial award for your new student that you presently have for your currently enrolled student (option 2) or you can apply for additional financial aid (option 3). If you have a 2021 graduating student and a returning student, your financial aid award will be reduced due to the fact that financial aid is awarded per student and you will have one less student in attendance.
Financial Aid Options
1. FINANCIAL AID NO LONGER NEEDED
Pay it forward: If the Lord has blessed your family and you do not anticipate needing financial aid next year, please let us know so we can use those funds next year for a deserving family with financial need.
2. SAME FINANCIAL AID
No Financial Aid Application Required: Families who feel their current financial aid award, per student, is sufficient do not need to complete the FACTS Grant and Aid application and should select this option. Financial aid awards will automatically be deducted from the 2021-22 annual tuition in FACTS.
3. ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL AID
Application Required: If your financial circumstances have changed and you wish to request additional financial aid, you must complete the 2021-22 FACTS Grant and Aid application by December 31.

Parking Permits
For the 2020-2021 school year, parking options are as follows:

- Juniors can apply for a permit to park at the Athletic Complex on Portola Parkway. This is a restricted permit; there will be 3-4 days during the year when faculty and staff need to park there and students will have to make alternative arrangements.
- There is no parking available to Sophomores and Freshmen.

- Print and fill out the required application: Senior Permit Application or Junior Permit Application
- Include a copy of the student's California driver's license
- Include a copy of the student's proof of car insurance

Parking Lot Drop-Off & Pick-Up Tips
Drop-Off
-
Please arrive early for drop-off to minimize time spent waiting in the drop-off line. Students may be dropped off as early as 7:30 a.m.
-
Please only drop-off and pick-up in front of the Event Center and not in parking stalls.
-
The outside lane (right lane) splits to form the two drop-off lanes. The inside lane (left lane) is for parking and driving through.
-
When dropping off in front of the Event Center, please follow the parking attendants directions, alternating cars to create two lanes for drop-off. Please pull forward, before dropping off.
-
Please be aware that students are exiting cars in both drop-off lanes, so please wait until all cars in the drop-off area are clear before exiting.
-
Please observe the posted speed limit and the arrows indicating where the drop-off and pass-through lanes begin and end.
-
Please do not drop-off or pick-up your students in the Stonegate East community.
Pick-Up
-
Please use the outside lane (right lane), if you want to wait to pick-up at the yellow curb in front of the Event Center.
-
If your student is curbside and ready to be picked up, you may use the inside lane (left lane) to bypass the line to pull in to the “middle” lane (second lane in front of Event Center). The middle lane is for pick-up only, not waiting, so you may be asked to continue driving if your student is not curbside, ready to be picked up. If you need to wait, please use the outside lane to stop at the yellow curb.
-
Please note, the inside lane (left lane) is also used for students and faculty exiting the parking stalls.
-
To avoid congestion, you may want to wait until 2:50 p.m., after the line is cleared.
Thank you for your partnership in ensuring the safety of our students at Crean Lutheran High School. Please let us know if you have any additional questions, or feedback (sheppard@creanlutheran.org).
