Dear Shorecrest Students and Families,

Starting on Monday, February 22, Shorecrest will be welcoming our self-contained special education students back to our campus. Additionally, we will be launching the first day of fall athletics. The following sports will begin on site: Football, Girls Volleyball, Girls Swim/Dive, Boys Tennis, Cross Country (Boys and Girls), and Girls Soccer.

To assist you with registering your student for fall athletics, our Athletic Director, Alan Bruns, has created a video to overview the process. Start of SC Athletics Information Video. You may also go to the Shorecrest Homepage and look in the Athletics Tab for the links and documents you will need.  

We received word that there was a delay in the processing of paper report cards. Please know that you should see these arriving in your mailbox some time at the end of next week. For now you can find the end of Term 2 final grades in Family Access. 

It has been an emotional few weeks for our community. Next week is a great time for students to rest up, catch up, and prepare to return on February 22. We appreciate our Shorecrest community and are grateful for your continued support. In preparation for our materials distribution days this past week, we relied on the help of several parent volunteer from our Shorecrest Boosters and Shorecrest PTSA. The Shorecrest staff would like to publicly thank Hayley Uhm, Sanjivani Chettiar, Danielle Werner, Deb Harrick, Shannon McLeod, Joanna Freeman, Sara Lorimer, Jane Wierenga, Melissa Gates, Lisa Cook, Julie Wolff, Joanne Montague, Deci Evans, and Lanie Johnson. THANK YOU! 

Go Scots! 

Lisa Gonzalez, Principal

Dear Shorecrest Students and Families,

I hope your home has had a smooth transition to the new term. It takes a lot of emotional energy to adjust to a new set of classes, routines, classmates, and teachers so please don’t be surprised if you have a tired student at home.

Final Term 2 grades were entered today by our teaching staff and you will be receiving report cards (the paper, mailed home via US postal mail kind) in the next 7-10 days. Because Canvas courses have turned over to the new classes of Term 3, you will not be able to see final grades for the last term in Canvas. 

A reminder to all… We are all collectively using a 0.1 notation in the Canvas gradebook to identify assignments that are missing but can still (and should) be turned in. We have also extended our homework turn-in deadline across all SC classes. Students have until the end of the unit (each class has different unit end dates/timelines) to turn in classwork. 

We are distributing class materials for Term 3 next week on February 10 and 11. Please check this broadcast, as well as email reminders, about when/how to come and pick up materials for your student. Lastly, we have an important Athletics Update to share with you all...

 

ATHLETICS UPDATE

We’re happy to announce that our athletic seasons are cleared for take-off.  The traditional Fall Sports will begin on Monday, Feb. 22 and run until the end of March, to be followed by Spring Sports, and finally Winter Sports which will end on June 12.  

The sports beginning on Feb. 22 will be: Girls Volleyball, Football, Girls Swim/Dive, Girls Soccer, Boys/Girls Cross Country, and Boys Tennis.

For athletes planning to come out for a sport on Feb. 22, make sure the following are taken care of: updated physical is submitted, complete online forms by going to the Final Forms link (see below), and pay the $40 ASB and $50 sports fees. Those payments can be made by using our online InTouch system, linked from the school home page and the Final Forms site.

Follow this link - https://www.shorelineschools.org/domain/692 to find contact information for coaches, schedule for the 3 seasons, link to Final Forms, and other athletic information. Feel free to reach out to me, Alan Bruns, Athletic Director, with further questions:  alan.bruns@shorelineschools.org

Dear Shorecrest Students and Families,

We are halfway through the school year. New classes will launch on Monday, February 1. Between today and Monday, we hope (and encourage) your Shorecrest student to enjoy a weekend free of school work. In order to prepare for the start of the new term, we held a school-wide webinar today and also provided spring packets during materials drop off this past week.

There are some notable updates to share in the world of athletics and Mr. Bruns, our Athletic Director spoke to students this morning in the webinar. We are happy to share that some of our teams will be offering training sessions for students starting this coming week and, on Monday, February 1, our league (WESCO) will determine if we are able to start our first season and open to limited competitive play. For the most up to date information on what is happening in the world of athletics, please go to our website and to the athletics page.

To help you support your SC student in getting ready for the new term, here is all the information you need:

• Spring Packet — If you were unable to pick up a hard copy packet, it is available here in electronic form (PDF).
• Webinar — We recorded this morning’s webinar (50 minutes long) and you can review this at home (click here) to see what you missed if you were unable to attend or if you would like to review material.

Dear Shorecrest Students and Families,

Shorecrest believes in providing a Safe and Supportive Learning Environment. We strive to be a place where all students are safe to learn without threat of violence, concern for safety, use of degrading or hurtful language, or harassing behavior. We are re-establishing our committment to social justice, nurturing our diverse student and staff community, and working together to create a society free of discrimination, racial injustice, and intolerance.

Over the past three weeks, as a school, we have engaged in conversations about the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6 and its racist elements. We have listened to Lebron James’ authentic perspective on those events at the Capitol as well as on racial injustice in America more broadly. Last Friday we were fortunate to be able to engage in a thoughtful three-part lesson and dialogue created by our Black Student Union students and their advisors in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King., Jr. Our work in the area of racial justice as a school community does not end here. Both students and staff have submitted reflection forms indicating that they see the necessity in continuing the conversation and the work to move forward towards being a truly antiracist learning community. With our entire district, we also will participate in the Black Lives Matter at School Week the first week of February.

Over the past two weeks, the Shorecrest Race & Equity Team, composed of 10 staff members, has met five times to support this work, prepare our teachers to engage in this work, and to hear and meet the needs of our students - in particular our Indigenous, Black, and Brown students who have historically been marginalized in our educational structures. We are listening. We commit to action. We want to work tirelessly to advance antiracism at Shorecrest. We are no longer accepting the narrative of being “not racist”, but instead proactively and aggressively creating action to combat racism. Antiracism is defined by Ibram X. Kendi in “How to Be an Antiracist” as: expressing the idea that racial groups are equals and none needs developing, and is supportive of policies that reduce racial inequity.

The following themes emerged from students via an optional Google reflection form following our MLK activities:

We need a better system to respond to, report, and have accountability around racism in school

We need to structure ongoing and year-round conversation around racial justice

We need more diverse staff and teachers

Our curriculum should incorporate strong history, representation, and current contributions of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color

Shorecrest needs to listen better to student needs and community voices, especially those in the Indigenous, Black, and Brown community

Resources need to be applied to supporting the work of racial justice and supporting our students of color

Our school events, activities, celebrations, etc. should elevate antiracism

We need to better support the development of our black and brown student leaders via support for strong affinity clubs and in other school wide student leadership roles.

We need to be more authentic and action orientated in our antiracism work

We should seek to partner with and mentor younger students

Restorative Justice practices should be built into our classes and used school wide

These themes are a starting place for our Race & Equity Team and will inform the work we do moving forward.

This is a word cloud depicting how students felt after processing the Capitol insurrection and its racist components. A word cloud shows the words that come up most often in responses as larger than the ones that show up less often. Thus: angry, sad, scared, and disappointed came up the most for students.

Our staff are also beginning to engage at a deeper level in this work and are throwing themselves wholeheartedly into difficult conversations. We asked staff to reflect on being committed to this work and here is a word cloud depicting their responses:

We are beginning to ask more of everyone who is part of Shorecrest: to be uncomfortable, to begin the work without seeing its end, to engage one’s whole and true self in this endeavor, and to stay present and persevere for the long haul, even when it’s hard. But that is what is necessary and it is our call to action. The Shorecrest Race & Equity Team is seeking to advance our own awareness and build our own capacity around these issues, facilitate conversations with our staff and school community related to race and equity, lead staff professional development, and incorporate voice from students and the larger school community into the work. Black Lives Matter. We have much work to do.

Our Race & Equity Team is composed of the Principal, Lisa Gonzalez; the Instructional Coach, Stacia Tellefson; our Dean of Students, Lacy Clark; our two District Race & Equity Leads, Danny Chavez-Sotnik & Johanna Phillips; our Lead Counselor, Sara McManus; and our teachers and classified staff at large: Alicia Arnold, Carlos Cardenas, Will Lewis, and Nicole Steward. Please do not hesitate to reach out.

Book Recs for Equity and Understanding

• I was embarrassed as an American and shocked as a former history teacher that the White House released "The 1776 Report" on the most recent Martin Luther Day. The document is a series of misrepresentations, misinterpretations and even lies about slavery in the United States. There is so much we can learn about slavery and of African Americans in U.S. history that I recommend everyone read a book called Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You by Ibram Kendi and Jason Reynolds. It is a clear, concise, and cathartic telling of racism—particularly racism in the United States. I write that it is a “telling” because the narrative speaks directly to the reader as if you are listening in person to a powerful speaker who wants you to understand racism and to do something about it. The book is taught in our English 12 classes. Stamped is a remix of a more traditional history book called Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram Kendi. I read Stamped and when I wanted a more in depth understanding of a topic than I turned to Stamped from the Beginning. I recommend both, but in particular I recommend Stamped since it is aimed at informing and motivating young adults—our students.

Activities Update

• We had an Athletics Update in Highlander Home on Wednesday. If you missed it, here is a video link to watch it.
• On Thursday, we had our January Student Council meeting and were able to listen to student ideas and concerns.
• On Friday, students participated in our annual All School Art Project, brought to you by Ms. King and the SC Art Club. We folded origami cranes and fishes - the significance of which is success and perseverance respectively. Please bring your origami in a plastic bag to the materials drop off next week. We will have special collection bins for these. The origami will ultimately be strung and hung up in our school lobby as an art installation and will greet us when we return to our school building.
• Today our student leaders, with support of PTSA, honored staff with a socially distanced, “grab and go” breakfast in appreciation of the hard work of staff and teachers to keep students engaged in remote learning this year. It was wonderful to feel celebrated. Thank you to all who donated food and supported the event: Shannon McLeod, Silje Sodal, Joanna Freeman, Jane Wierenga, Julia Prosser, Renee, Danielle Werner, Deb Harrick, Theresa Greco, and Marlys Pickrell.
• We are starting to think about filling ASB positions for next year. The first phase of this is to have our ASB Core elections (President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer). Any student interested in running for one of these positions is asked to please join us at the required informational meeting at lunch on February 4th. Details shared closer to the date, just planting the seed now! No experience required.

Dear Shorecrest Students and Families,

This has been a challenging week for our country. As with any moment of crisis our students look to us for guidance, stability, and leadership. It is difficult when we, ourselves, are also still trying to make meaning of a traumatic event and that is especially true when we are navigating layers of trauma (a pandemic, remote learning, racial injustice and social unrest).

We took time on Thursday as a school community to mark the moment of this week’s events and to create a space for students to begin to reflect and process what they are witnessing.  I shared a brief (2 and half minutes in length) video to start the day and teachers were provided with a follow up question to open conversation. The question was:  “When I reflect on the events of yesterday in our nation’s capital, I think… I feel… I wonder…” And, the video introduction can be found here.

We also shared resources that were compiled by the New York City Department of Education with our staff and our social studies teachers facilitated lessons and activities in their classes using some of these activities.  Again, for those of you interested, you can access these resources in the PDF attached below:

NYC Dept of Ed Resources 

Shorecrest strives to provide a space for our community of learners to reflect, to think critically, to ask questions, to listen, and to consider multiple perspectives. We will not shy away from difficult conversations.  It is incumbent upon us, however, to create a safe space -- an empathetic,  compassionate space. We cannot lose sight that we are collectively experiencing trauma and that our community of color has been disproportionately impacted by this trauma. 

We encourage you to talk with your student at home and to help your student make meaning of these events. These young people are remarkable. They are smart, they ask excellent questions, and they are paying attention. How they make meaning of all this, and what they choose to do, will impact the future of our country.

With a hopeful heart,

Lisa Gonzalez, Principal

Dear Shorecrest Students and Families,

We made it. Winter Break. I think we can all finally exhale.

From the bottom of our collective staff heart, thank you. 

Thank you for sharing your young people with us. They are lovely beings who fill our hearts with hope, good cheer, and perspective. Thank you for all you are doing at home to support your student.  We hope you and your family are able to find time to rest, to be off screens, and to get outside over these next two weeks. 

Speaking of rest, teachers will be off-line starting today at 3:30 pm until 7:30 am on January 4th. They will not be checking email or Canvas. I need them to step away and take care of themselves. If you have any concerns about the well-being of a young person in your life, especially during a time when our staff are not available to help, please keep these resources close by:

• 24-hr Suicide Lifeline 1-800-273-8255

Dear Shorecrest Students and Families,

In another week, we will be signing off to take a much needed winter break. Teachers have been asked to provide students with a true break — no assignments, no projects, no expectation of something due upon immediate return from vacation. And, I have requested that teachers do the same and plan ahead so that they too can step away for a much needed two-week break. The best way you can help support this plan is to do a check in now, this weekend, with your student(s) to see how they are progressing in their school work. Take a look at what is due, what assignments may be missing, and what exams are coming up. Help your student(s) backwards plan so that they can truly put down their virtual school backpacks, and rest. 

Recently, I was reminded that it was just a year ago this week that we experienced a long and difficult lock down at school. December of 2019 was riddled with anxiety, fear, and looking back, it was only the beginning of what would be a year filled with losses, disruption, and unknowns. Our school doors closed in March and at the time, we did not imagine that the closure would be this prolonged. Many school traditions, from traveling to Ireland to hosting our Caen Laida assembly to hosting an in-person graduation, were either abandoned or experienced in a new, virtual format.  Perhaps the biggest loss of all last spring, however, was daily access to teachers, instruction, and classmates. 

This fall, our students and our teachers, returned to Shorecrest via a remote learning model and from day one, we have had our screens on — for each and every class period, with live teacher instruction, and on-line lessons and activities for students to further their learning. I remember early on hearing from students who shared “It’s like real school!” I could not be prouder of the efforts of this staff to put together meaningful learning experiences for our students, to experiment with different lesson structures, and to, day in and day out, often in the face of black screens and without the benefit of seeing the faces and reactions of their students, keep their energy and their spirits high. Our students, in turn, have shown up and held on despite the awkwardness of trying to meet people and make friends with those they cannot see. They have put in the time, learned to become independent learners and organizers, and have remained good humored, and hopeful.  

There are still many unknowns but the resilience and the partnership that is the Shorecrest community is not one of them. We have remained true to who we are and grateful for the connections we have with our families, our students, and amongst our staff.  We anticipate 2021 will be a year of healing, health, and hope. And, that it will also be the year that brings us back together, in person.

Please do take some time to do some backwards planning with your student to work towards a complete, and much needed, break from school. Let us all walk away from computer screens and take a walk outside.

Go Scots!

Ms. Gonzalez

Dear Shorecrest Students and Families,

We care about your student’s mental health.

Sometimes it can be tough to talk with your teen about how they are doing.  With tightening COVID restrictions and the impact of social isolation, it is important we have a regular check in with each other about our mental health.  

SC Counselors often use scaling questions to help students use numbers to gauge where they are at.  Visuals are great, too.  They can reduce the discomfort of verbalizing feelings, behaviors or thoughts, that may be uncomfortable to say out loud.  

• Consider sharing this Stress Progression chart with your student - read through it together, or ask them to circle any statements that they relate to.
• Use this as a launching point to discuss healthy coping strategies and address any needs that may arise.  
• Normalizing discussions of mental health are important to reducing the stigma around it.  

You may find that your student could benefit from additional support.  For a list of local resources, the district has a provided list - https://www.shorelineschools.org/Page/80

Additionally, Shorecrest is a UW Forefront partner school - their website has excellent resources.  https://intheforefront.org/king-county/

Activities Update

• We have some fun activities happening in December! Students in the Advanced Leadership Class are planning a real-life Scavenger Hunt for December 12. More information coming soon! Today we had a game zoom open to all students to play Among Us and JackBox. We are also in the middle of granting students’ “Winter Wishes” and creating a hype video to showcase the fun and joy around this. Class officers (senators) are also planning additional activities for their grade-level peers. There is a student group working on student-to-student Academic Supports to address comments raised at last week’s Student Council meeting, including facilitating peer-to-peer tutoring - information in student k12 email to sign up to either tutor or request tutoring. Finally we are gearing up for another incredible Shorecrest Lip Dub - information in student k12 emails - the goal is to release the lip dub video in late January! The senior class is organizing a creative take on their senior class photo: to come up with a photo mosaic of every student that creates “2021” as the larger image. Seniors received an email in their k12 accounts today with information on how to submit their photo. It is really impressive to see these students take on these big projects to help create and continue our inclusive, fun and supportive school climate.
• We also had class meetings this week (sophomore meeting is Tuesday, Dec. 8 during Highlander Home). We had class meetings for each grade-level with important information from our counseling department, college and career center, principal, and class advisors and officers. If you missed yours, you can find the slides and video recording on the ASB website. (Note that the sophomore meeting is Tuesday, Dec. 8 during Highlander Home.)
• Our Shorecrest Boosters is also focusing on supporting school culture and climate, but for the grown ups of SC: parents, guardians, staff, and other SC supporters. They’ve come up with a novel 1980s-themed Virtual Game Night at 7:00 TONIGHT, Friday, December 4. It will feature various trivia games, music lyrics fun, a costume/best 80s hair contest and prizes. It’s free to participate in, but you must register first to get the link which will help them to organize the event: https://charityauction.bid/SCGameNight . This is hosted by the same organizers of the SC Auction and Kellogg Trivia Night, so you know it’s going to be totally fun! You do not need to organize a team to participate, just register and use your log in link!

Dear Shorecrest Students and Families,

As we approach Thanksgiving, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you, our families, for your on-going support and for all you are doing at home to encourage your students during this difficult time. Please know it is not lost on us that keeping a teenager engaged with remote learning, day in and day out, is a challenge! We see them on one side of the screen and you see them on the other. :) We appreciate you so very very much. Thank you, SC families! A few school updates to share...

• If you took school pictures on site earlier this fall, and your family ordered pictures, please know we will be mailing them to your home. They should arrive in the next two weeks.
• In addition, we are curtailing the weekly distribution of materials and supplies for the month of December. Only our lab classes will be distributing materials and only if absolutely essential. Due to the increase in COVID cases in our county, we are hitting pause on larger materials distribution until the new year to reduce exposure for our staff and our families. If your student has a class that requires materials to be distributed (Foods classes, Engineering, Physics), they will be notified by your teacher. 
• Report cards should be landing in your mailboxes this week as well! These are final Semester 1 grades. 

We hope you enjoy a few days of rest this next week. Take good care.

Go Scots!

Ms. Gonzalez

Dear Shorecrest Students and Families,

We have experienced multiple Zoom incidents this past week that have disrupted classes, upset students, and rattled teachers. Teachers have appropriately removed individuals who have entered the classroom using another student’s credentials and have reported incidents immediately to administrators. We have been studying the issue all week, working with our IT department, and are taking steps to prevent future disruptions.

All future Zoom classes, starting on Monday, will require students to log in via their k12 google accounts. For a student using their district issued Chromebook, this will not be a problem as this happens automatically when they start their Chromebook. For a student using a personal device that is not a district issued Chromebook, they will have to first be logged on to their Google k12 account before they will be permitted to enter their Zoom class. Taking this step will help us prevent unauthorized access to Zoom classes.

Please help us by ensuring that your student does not compromise their own account by sharing their Google k12 username or password with anyone -- even a trusted friend. We need students to understand that by sharing their credentials with others they risk their identity, their files, and their personal information being used without their permission. If your student is concerned and would like to change their Google k12 password, please have them reach out to our IT department for assistance. Look on the Shorecrest homepage or the district website on how to submit a tech help request. 

On the upside, and this is quite impressive, 75% of our students had PERFECT attendance first semester. Not a Zoom class missed. Go Scots!

Thank you!
Lisa Gonzalez, Principal

It was a pretty quiet week activities-wise as we started up our new semester on Monday. 

• We did have a Student Council meeting Thursday and student representatives continue to bring timely and specific feedback about their experiences with remote learning. The ASB Core officers work hard to set up and lead these meetings and then follow up with Principal Gonzalez regarding student concerns and ideas and then report back at the following Student Council. It has been a highly functional group for a number of years and even going remote has not interfered and the Student Council leader, Isaac Smith, even found a way to adopt Parliamentary Procedure for Zoom! Thanks to all our student representatives and ASB officers for dedicating their time to making SC the best it can be!

 

• Today we had our first meeting of upperclassmen Link Leaders with their Freshmen mentees in each Highlander Homeroom. I know both groups of students were eager to connect with one another and we are so glad to have this support up and running again under the advisors Mr. Brett Vlahovich and Ms. Kathy Elwell.

 

• Our clubs continue to thrive in a virtual environment. We had two new clubs approved at Student Council (Sunrise Hub & Young Women in STEM) as well as other clubs restart from the past. Please see the ASB Clubs website for more information and Zoom links. Club information is updated every Monday. Additionally, club information is also in the announcement slides each day in Highlander Home.

 

• Speaking of announcements, we have a number of student volunteers who take time each night to record video announcements. They are doing a marvelous job. You can find daily announcements on the bottom of the SCHS homepage!

 

• School Pictures Update - school picture packets will be available for pick up on our next school-wide distribution day: November 18. Stay tuned for more details.

Dear Shorecrest Students and Families,

Second semester begins this Monday, November 9. Students can log into their Family Access with their Google username and password to see their 2nd semester schedule as early as this evening. 2nd semester Canvas courses should also be visible. Please note that students in year-long classes will remain in those same courses. Students in semester long classes will transition into new semester courses. On Monday morning, students will log onto Canvas and go to their courses to find the class Zoom link (embedded into each Canvas Homepage for each class) to log in. If you are in need of tech assistance or have any questions, please contact the Shorecrest main office on Monday morning at 206-393-4286. 

Final semester grades for this first semester will be entered by Friday, November 13. Teachers will be working this week to finalize grades and you can expect a report card to arrive at home some time during the week of November 16-20. 

Stress and anxiety have been high this week with not only the end of a semester (always a busy time for teachers and students) and the transition to a new semester, but also with the many lingering unknowns remaining in the presidential election. However, true to the heart and the light that our young people bring, our student leaders wish to share with the broader community a message of love, inclusion, and optimism. We are a diverse group of people, from many walks of life, who value our friendships, have mutual respect for one another, and who care deeply about equity and inclusivity. A message from our Associated Student Body (ASB) Officers:

We know many of you are overwhelmed— we are too. We encourage you to check in with those you care for because they are probably feeling the same way you are. That check-in could really help someone; instead of saying, “how are you doing,” try “how are you feeling?” 

Although it’s hard to see, the Shorecrest community has been and will remain a space where all are welcome. We encourage you to reach out to fellow students by DMing @hyphyhighlanders on Instagram. As your ASB Core, we’re here to listen, whether it be a concern, question, or if you simply need someone to talk to.

--Gabe Nelson, Isaac Smith, Eunice Back, and Bobby Parsek 

Stay safe, care for one another, and… Go Scots!

Lisa Gonzalez, Principal

Internet access is critical to participating in the District’s remote learning program. We realize that for many families, getting adequate internet access can be a challenge and to help mitigate this, we have distributed over 500 mobile hotspots to families in need of access support. Now Washington State is offering a new K-12 internet access program that will provide even better internet service in most cases. The K–12 Internet Access Program connects students in need to internet access at home with no cost to the student or their family.

Through the program, students whose families are low-income and are not currently connected to the internet can get connected through the end of the 2020–21 school year for free. (Costs due to loss or damage of equipment may still apply.)

To be eligible for the program, students and their families must:

• Not have had internet connectivity in the home prior to August 2020.
• Be able to show they are low-income and eligible for free or reduced-price meals.

Details on specific offers

Each of the three service providers have specific offers for qualifying families. Families are free to select the vendor that best meets their need and provide service in their neighborhood. Information packets have been mailed to potential qualifying families from the district with the offer details from each vendor. If you did not recieve a letter and believe you qualify or have additional questions please contact the Family Advocate or Dean at your student's school. Copies of these offer letters are below. (Note: although the Comcast letter mailed to families does include an access code the letter below does not. Comcast access codes are specific to each family and can only be used once):

• Comcast
  • Comcast Family Letter English 
  • Comcast Family Letter Spanish
• Presidio

• We celebrated Veterans Day on Friday, November 6th in Highlander Home.

While it appeared to be a tie between the two halves of the district, the big winner is our entire community. It was a tremendous success and proof that with a little ingenuity we can continue to make a positive impact even in this time. I am incredibly proud of the student project team who led this work at Shorecrest and coordinated with Shorewood students: Bella Tancreti, Lacy George, Andrew Miner, Ethan Yao, Edom Napoleon and Ally Whelan and also big thanks to the other student volunteers who helped out that day too and to everyone who stopped by to donate food and socks for the Works.
  
  
  • The Director of Hopelink writes of the Food Drive: “I just wanted to say thank you from all of us at Hopelink. Your drive brought in 7,655 pounds for us which is truly incredible. On top of that, the high school volunteers that you provided were really helpful and motivated, and followed directions incredibly well (something even our older volunteers can struggle with). The support you provided absolutely made our day, and we are so thankful for your hard work organizing this. This food will go directly into the food boxes our families receive and will be a valuable source of variety throughout the winter. If you want a receipt or have any other questions please let me know, otherwise I look forward to working with you again!”

Dear Shorecrest Students and Families,

The end of first semester is just one week away. Our students have done a great job staying connected, adapting to a whole new routine and reality, and keeping their spirits up. One more week to go and then, a clean slate and a fresh start. A whole new semester on November 9.

If you are concerned about your SC student, please let us know. Start by reaching out to your student’s teachers and/or school counselor. Please go to the Shorecrest Counseling Page to connect with our counseling department and services.

The week ahead will be a full one -- a national election, end of the first semester, and the start of Daylight Savings (Fall Back on Sunday!). It is a good time to be reminded that emotions will be high and that our young people are paying attention. If you are able and would like to channel all that emotion towards something constructive, please join in our Food Drive on Saturday at the Shoreline Center. See the flyer in this Broadcast for more information!

Lastly, if you would like to check out the latest virtual happenings at Shorecrest, below you will find links to our students of the month celebration and our most recent edition of SCNN.

Take care, everyone.

Go Scots!

Internet access is critical to participating in the District’s remote learning program. We realize that for many families, getting adequate internet access can be a challenge and to help mitigate this, we have distributed over 500 mobile hotspots to families in need of access support. Now Washington State is offering a new K-12 internet access program that will provide even better internet service in most cases. The K–12 Internet Access Program connects students in need to internet access at home with no cost to the student or their family.

Through the program, students whose families are low-income and are not currently connected to the internet can get connected through the end of the 2020–21 school year for free. (Costs due to loss or damage of equipment may still apply.)

To be eligible for the program, students and their families must:

• Not have had internet connectivity in the home prior to August 2020.
• Be able to show they are low-income and eligible for free or reduced-price meals.

Counselor Corner

Counselors are available for appointments!  Counselors are available to discuss academic achievement, college preparation, post secondary options, and social/emotional support.  Students, please fill out this google form to request an appointment and a zoom link with your appointment time will be emailed to your k12 email.  Parents/Guardians can call the Counseling Office at (206) 393-4296 to schedule an appointment. 

 

Dear Shorecrest Students and Families,

Fall has most definitely arrived! The cold snap has already led to power outages in some of our neighborhoods and I know that leads to a stressor we never faced before — how to access remote learning from home when the power is out! If this were to happen to your student, please assure them that teachers have their daily class materials and activities available on Canvas so that they can access them when the power is back on. And, when your student is able, they should send an email to their teachers explaining their situation. This will help teachers in providing assistance or an extension on a due date. 

We will soon be transitioning to a new semester. Our first semester ends in two weeks — on November 6. Most teachers/courses have a deadline of submitting late or missing work and/or completing test re-takes, etc. by October 30. Please be sure to communicate any special needs to teachers in advance so they can plan ahead. Teachers must submit final semester grades by November 13. This gives teachers one week (from November 6 to November 13) to complete all grading. At home, this is the time to check Canvas grades before the due date for turning in missing/late work so you can make a plan with your student. 

Next week is Spirit Week so check out the theme for each day and on Saturday, October 31, we are “competing” with our sister school, Shorewood, to see how many canned goods we can collect to benefit our community. More information on these activities and more are included in the Broadcast!

Hope you are joining in the fun tonight with the SC Boosters Virtual Auction! Special Shout Out to Deci Evans for all her efforts and her leadership. Thank you, Deci, and thank you, SC Boosters!

Go Scots!

Dear Shorecrest Students and Families,

We had a good week. Having our students on campus for picture day was a highlight for sure. Students were excited to see their classmates, if only for just a moment. Our 9th graders were on campus for the first time as SC students! Our Seniors had a chance to keep our Senior Handprint Wall tradition. The handwashing station after handprints was my absolute favorite place to be as I had the opportunity to chat with students as they scrubbed off paint. Such a sweet moment to talk and re-connect! It was just a lovely experience to be reminded how wonderful, kind, engaging, and thoughtful our students are. My goodness, we miss them.

For those of you who were unable to participate in picture day, know that we are unable to offer a make up day this year. That said, when we return to some form of in-person learning, we will review our options and determine our best next steps for students who need a student ID. If your student did come in to take a school photo, you can still order these on-line through Dorian. Go to our homepage to find the link!  For Seniors, remember the deadline to turn in Senior Photos for the Yearbook is October 30!

Another highlight of this past week was hosting Class Meetings during Highlander Home. Senators and Class Advisers led webinars throughout the week -- each day for a different class -- to update students on upcoming events and share information. The Freshmen Class selected Senators (Congratulations!) and had a chance to meet their Class Advisers for the first time. Our Seniors had a lot of information to process, including the latest and greatest on how to order your Senior Cap & Gown! Speaking of which, for families of Seniors, see the blurb below on what you need to know!

For families of Seniors, here is what you need to know:

Please also see the attached grading guidelines for your reference. The end of first semester is approaching. November 6 is the end of the first semester (not quarter, but semester) and these grading guidelines provide you with the information you will need to understand what that means for your student. Grading Guidelines PDF 

Thank you all! Have a wonderful weekend. 

Go Scots!

SC vs SW Drive In Food Drive 10/31

 

Hello everyone!

Shorecrest and Shorewood are hosting a districtwide food drive that will take place on Oct. 31 from 11:00 AM-2:00 PM in the school district office building parking lot. There will be a different section of the parking lot for the East Side and West Side with people holding signs directing where to drop off food depending on your side.

Everyone is encouraged to wear spirit gear but are also welcome to wear costumes if desired. Masks are required. 

Our target items are: peanut butter, mac cheese, canned meals, oatmeal, and socks (see below).

The donated food will be donated to Hopelink food bank and the socks will be donated to Shoreline's Works Program. Although they are not food, we are also listing socks as a target item because Shorecrest and Shorewood are now participating in Socktober as part of our food drive. We will have a separate drop-off area for sock donations from members of Shorecrest and Shorewood.

We hope to see you at the Drive-in Food Drive!
