Dear Shorecrest Families and Students,
Notable for this week:
Shorecrest celebrated and commemorated the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther KIng Jr. with a student planned and directed assembly on Thursday, January 11. Kudos to the student leaders of this work - senior Amie Mboob and junior Amina Berehnie. We were honored to have SC alums Kali Hay and Nathan Nzanga return. Kali spoke about student activism and Nathan gave an entertaining and enlightening musical performance.
The end of first semester is just two weeks away. This is a good time to check with your students about grades before the semester ends.
Sincerely,
John Green

Info posted 1/6/23
Dear Shorecrest Families and Students,
Happy New Year to all of you. There's lots of information in this week's broadcast including information about our Martin Luther King Jr assembly and the Future Scots Basketball night.
I wouldn't want to send this broadcast without paying respect to the memory of Dori Monson who passed away recently. Dori was our girls varsity basketball coach for 7 seasons -- from 2010-2017 -- during which time his teams won 105 games. Most notably the 2015-16 team was crowned as the 2A State Champion -- the first and only such feat in program history. We will always appreciate Coach Monson's love for teaching the game of basketball.
Sincerely,
John Green

We are so glad that we have been able to be on campus more and volunteering for our Shorecrest Community. The last couple of years has been quite a struggle for many of us. Getting back into the groove has helped us all heal and move forward. Although the pandemic is not entirely behind us, we are thriving in our tiny little corner of the world and looking forward to gaining momentum and rebuilding our Booster community as the year progresses.
We are incredibly thankful for many of our volunteers who have helped us this year. Special shout-outs to the following people who have volunteered more than once to help us at merch tables at cold football games, get trained for concessions, and work during our busy winter season at the gym concessions stand, where we often need to be there 2 to 3 times a week! Thank you, volunteers!

Info posted 12/9/22
Dear Shorecrest Families and Students,
The much anticipated winter break is almost here. Just one more week.
I would encourage all of you to encourage your students to use this last week as a gift of time to wrap up loose ends. Look at Canvas and try to finish assignments and other work before vacation. This will yield two gifts - a relaxing, worry-free break and a strong start to the new year. And if they complain about this advice, you can tell them that the principal is doing the same thing.
Best Wishes,
John Green
Principal

ACTIVITIES UPDATE 2022-11-11
We gathered for our Veterans Recognition Assembly on Wednesday. We had a number of honored service members and veterans join us who had connections to Shorecrest, either as family members of current students or as Shorecrest alumni. Our keynote speaker was a 2011 graduate who has served in the Army for 9 years, Sergeant Grace Back. She spoke on the importance of service and her personal mission to help lift other female service members into positions of leadership. We also had a performance by our Highland Dance Team accompanied by Bagpiper Kevin Auld, and a video tour of what it is like to be a cadet at the Naval Academy courtesy of Shorecrest 2022 graduate, Andrew Miner. Our guests were impressed by our students’ respectful behavior. Our veterans and guests helped show our students that veterans and active duty service members are a diverse group of people and are an integral part of our community. Here is a link to pictures and videos from the assembly.

Info posted 11/4/22
Dear Shorecrest Families and Students,
Nothing very exciting this week - just a correction and a reminder.
The Correction. Our first quarter ended today and grades are due on Monday, November 14, because there is no school on Friday, November 11.
The Reminder. Please do not drop off or pick up students in the front parking lot of the main building for student safety and for the ease of our buses who rely on this area being open in the morning and afternoon. Buses are also traveling throughout the school day to provide transportation to and from Shorewood so these bus lanes need to remain open during school hours.
To pick up or drop off students. please go to the north parking lot (driveway is located behind, north of, the theater). Please follow the signs to loop around the lot and pick up students outside the building (students will need to exit out the door by the green stairs). To help get out of the north parking lot quickly, remember to only turn right onto to 25th Avenue.
Have a wonderful weekend,
John Green

To Shorecrest Families and Students,

End of First Quarter November 4
Grades are due from teachers on November 11. Students and families are encouraged to check progress on Canvas. Grades should be available at the beginning of the following week.
Change in Attendance Policy
After hearing from youth across the state of Washington, the legislature recognized that students' mental health is a component of their physical health and that students' mental health can affect their ability to learn. The legislature found that school districts were not consistently recognizing student absences for mental health reasons as excused absences. Therefore, through House Bill 1834 the legislature now requires that student absences for mental health reasons are recognized as excused absences. As a result, the School District has revised Board policy 3122, Excused and Unexcused Absences, to reflect this change.
Here's a link to the pertinent section of Board policy 3122

We are so delighted to welcome you to Shorecrest this fall for SC Drama's production of The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical! Here's a teaser: As if being a teenager weren't hard enough... The Greek gods are real, and they're ruining Percy Jackson's life. Shocked to learn he's a "half blood" son of Poseidon, Percy has newly discovered powers he can't control, monsters on his trail, and he is on an epic quest to find Zeus's lightning bolt and prevent a war between the gods. Normal is a myth when you're a demigod. Based on the bestselling book series by Rick Riordan, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is an action-packed theatrical adventure that will rock your world!
The Lighting Thief will run from Thursday, November 10, through Sunday, November 13 and again the following weekend, Thursday, November 17, through Sunday, November 20.

TARDY MAKEUP SESSIONS Tardy Makeup Sessions occur one Wednesday a month from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm in the Shorecrest library. At 10 tardies, students will not be allowed to attend SC evening events such as dances and Prom, and current student-athletes will not be allowed to attend/practice/play in after school activities/sports.

The dates are: Nov 30, Dec 14, Jan 25, Feb 15, Mar 22, Apr 19, May 24, and June 7.
You and your student will receive a separate message via Parent Square if your student has 10 or more tardies and should attend a makeup session. Tardies cannot be excused by parents unless they were due to a medical appointment. Tardy counts for each individual student return to zero at the start of each semester. As a school, we want students to know and learn the value of being on time, the expectation of being ready to engage, and of honoring the professional relationship between teacher and student.

How to Arrange Early Dismissals
If your student needs an early dismissal for an appointment or other such reason, please notify our attendance office in advance by emailing sc.attendance@ssd412.org. We would like to know of the early dismissal at least one day in advance so we can prepare a pass to give to the student. When you arrive to pick up your child without prior notice, please know it will take more time for us to locate your student (oftentimes PE classes are on the field or on a walk) and have them meet you. If you would like to call, the Attendance Office phone is 206.393.4294
Visitors/Families on Campus
Anyone coming to school is asked to please check in with the Main Office when you enter the building.Student Drop Off and Pick Up
We need your help. With the increased number of students being dropped off or picked up at Shorecrest, we need families to use the North Parking Loop (behind the theater building) and to follow the directions on our signage. Please DO NOT turn left out of our parking lot as it will back up traffic. Please turn RIGHT only. Please watch for student pedestrians. Please go slow and drive safely. Please be patient.

Info posted 10/21/22
Dear Shorecrest Families and Students,
In the good news department - We had a very successful Club & Activity Fair on Thursday. We had over 30 clubs set up booths and reach out to interested students resulting in a lot of student interest and engagement. Research shows that students who are engaged in clubs and student activities and extracurriculars have better school attendance and graduation rates. Best of all, clubs can offer a family-like sense of belonging for students at school. We encourage all students to join an activity they are interested in - here is a link to the Club List on the ASB website.
It is important to remind families that they should not be picking up after school in the student parking lot. The student lot is crowded and all of our drivers are trying to exit at the same time. We love all of our students - but these are teenage drivers and they need all the space we can give them.
A far better option is to pick up your students in the North Lot. It can be crowded, but there is lots of room for cars to spread out and cooperate with other drivers.
Once again, thanks for sharing your amazing students with us.
Sincerely,
John Green
Principal

Info posted 10/14/22
Dear Shorecrest Families and Students
I would like to lead this Parent Broadcast with a caution to our community about the negative impacts of social media.
It has come to our attention that in recent weeks, an Instagram account has been created that describes current students and teachers in the context of sexual situations. The content is graphic and explicit. We are actively investigating and are prepared to take disciplinary action as warranted. This is, however, a learning opportunity for those who are involved. We would like nothing more than to see students remove these posts that embarrass and humiliate their teachers and peers.
Please check in with your student this evening. We are concerned about the impact that these posts have not only on the individual students and teachers named, but also the wider school community.
And on a much more positive note - we are past a fantastic Homecoming Week and into the core of the first semester. Our teachers are hard at work and classes are going well.
Thanks for sharing your students with us!

Principal - John Green
Assistant Principals - Alison Shawver and Cristi Camp

- Match of the season, as narrated by Coach Mann: "In another nail biter at third doubles, Jaime Moore and Ashton Johnson in their second counting match of the season competed against Lynnwood. They were the only ones left on the court when the team score was tied 3-3. Sadly, they lost their first set in a close tiebreaker, so they had to win the next two sets to earn a victory for the team. They fought hard to ensure a win by putting volleys away at the net and hitting deep lobs that kept their opponents off balance. In the three hour saga, they finally clinched the victory with a final score of 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-3, and clinched the team win for Shorecrest."

Homecoming 2022 Recap:
The senior class dominated the class competitions and was the overall winner in the return of Shorecrest Homecoming. We had such a phenomenal time at the Homecoming Assembly last Friday coming together in one spot to celebrate all things Highlander together. It gave me chills to see us all in one space sharing in those moments that bind us together. The Football Game and Halftime Show were also incredible events that brought even more of our Highlander Family from all over the district together. We celebrated not only our Shorecrest Royalty, but also the “School Ambassadors” representing our eastside feeder schools - our Future Scots! The Marching Band, Flag Team, Cheer Team, Highland Dancers, and Hip Hop Team all pulled together to make it a memorable evening full of Shorecrest spirit. Photos from the assembly, halftime, and dance can be found in this google folder.

ANNOUNCEMENTS It is almost Halloween! While we do not celebrate Halloween at school, students are welcome to wear their costumes as long as they follow a few guidelines: no masks, no weapons (even if fake), and please avoid cultural appropriation (if it is a person's culture/heritage, it is not a costume). Thanks!
Student photos were distributed in Highlander Home classes on Monday, October 10. However, these were based off early September lists, so there have been lots of students who are not in those Homeroom classes. Staff were asked to return those pictures to Johanna Phillips to deliver to students. If a student hasn’t received their photos by October 14, they should email johanna.phillips@ssd412.org.
-
Can photos be ordered late? Students who sat for pictures but didn’t order them earlier can order late. If they go to the website, www.mydorian.com, and put in the school's name a list of picture dates comes up. Next to the date the picture was taken there is a HELP button. When they fill out the information, customer support will email back their Access Code so they can actually see the photo and then order.
-
What if a student was not here for picture day? Please join us for Re-Take/Make Up Day, Wednesday, October 19, from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm in the Commons. EVERYONE should do this even if they are not buying pictures - this is how students get their photo ID and how we update our pictures of them in the Student Information System.
-
What if a student doesn’t like their pictures and wants retakes? Students who purchased pictures but want them retaken can come to Re-Take/Make Up Day, Wednesday, October 19, from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm in the Commons. They need to bring in the pictures that they don’t want to keep. This is only available to students who purchased pictures. There are no re-takes for ID card photos.
October is Filipino American history month! If you want to know a little more about the history of the Fil-Am Community, join us for APICC Tuesdays at lunch in Room 245 in the month of October for a 3-part series about Filipino American history! All are welcome.

COVID-19 INFORMATION FOR SHORELINE SCHOOLS FAMILIES
Washington State updated its COVID-19 school and child care guidance on August 5, 2022. Following these safety measures reduces the spread of COVID-19. This message explains how the updated guidance impacts your family and the community.
Health and Safety Requirements for this Fall:
- Students and staff who show symptoms of COVID-19 are required to stay home and should get tested for COVID-19.
- Students and staff who test positive for COVID-19 are required to isolate at home for 5 days.
- If symptoms improve and they have had no fever for the past 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications, students and staff can come back to school. DOH flowchart
- If students and staff meet the criteria to return to school after isolating at home for 5 days, they should wear a well-fitted mask from days 6 to 10. Individuals returning to school from isolation should also remain masked for sports and other extracurricular activities.
- Students and staff who test positive after 5 days of isolation must stay at home for the full 10-day isolation period.
- Schools will inform students, families, and staff when there are cases in school via weekly updates to the district COVID dashboard. Schools are no longer required to directly notify high-risk students or staff.
- Our state’s requirement for school employees to be fully vaccinated to protect against COVID-19 or have obtained a medical or religious exemption is still in place.
These requirements are in place for all public and private K-12 schools and child care facilities in Washington State. Schools and child care facilities are required by state law to follow these guidelines.
To reduce the spread of COVID-19, free COVID-19 testing for students and staff is available at many nearby locations, including the UW Medicine COVID-19 Shoreline testing site: 15499 15th Ave. NE, Shoreline, WA 98155 and their Aurora testing site: 12040 Aurora Ave. N, Seattle, WA 98133
Households are encouraged to test as needed at home. In Washington State, you can receive free self-tests from the Say Yes! COVID Test program. Most insurance covers the costs of up to 8 self-tests per individual per month.
COVID-19 vaccinations remain the best protection for everyone against hospitalization and severe disease from COVID-19. The COVID-19 vaccine is now available for children 6 months and older. Booster doses are also available for children 5 years and older. You are encouraged to vaccinate your children if they are eligible, in consultation with your health care provider.
For more information, we encourage you to read “Back to school and COVID-19: What parents should know,” from the Public Health Insider blog.
SHORECREST REMINDERS
How to Arrange Early Dismissals
If your student needs an early dismissal for an appointment or other such reason, please notify our attendance office in advance by emailing sc.attendance@ssd412.org. We would like to know of the early dismissal at least one day in advance so we can prepare a pass to give to the student. When you arrive to pick up your child without prior notice, please know it will take more time for us to locate your student (oftentimes PE classes are on the field or on a walk) and have them meet you. If you would like to call, the Attendance Office phone is 206.393.4294
Visitors/Families on Campus
Anyone coming to school is asked to please check in with the Main Office when you enter the building.Student Drop Off and Pick Up
We need your help. With the increased number of students being dropped off or picked up at Shorecrest, we need families to use the North Parking Loop (behind the theater building) and to follow the directions on our signage. Please DO NOT turn left out of our parking lot as it will back up traffic. Please turn RIGHT only. Please watch for student pedestrians. Please go slow and drive safely. Please be patient.

Info posted 10/7/22
Dear Shorecrest Families and Students,
At the end of our 5th week of school things are going very well at Shorecrest. We just finished a school week that included many Homecoming activities. Our students enjoyed the opportunity to be part of resurrecting many of the school's traditions after a nearly three year hiatus. We had a wonderful Homecoming Assembly.
The staff is pleased with the spirit and sense of belonging demonstrated by so many students. There is a lot of work ahead and still some things that need more attention but it has been a very good start.
Our kids are just starting to settle into the routines of school and now is a good time to review and reinforce the importance of attendance. School attendance is important. Students who miss more than 10 or more days a year are less likely to graduate from high school. And just 1 or 2 days a month can add up and put students in jeopardy. Parents can always check attendance by contacting our attendance office. Email sc.attendance@ssd412.org or phone call/voicemail to 206-393-4294.
Sincerely,
John Green
Principal

ACTIVITES UPDATE 2022-10-07 Update:
What an incredibly fun and engaging Homecoming Week we shared. Many students participated in spirit days, lunch activities and in helping their grade to make their mural, decorate the stairwell or create their skit. The assembly this afternoon was incredible and super high energy. It is fair to say that WE ARE BACK! Shorecrest spirit has returned in full force after being awakened during all of our activities and celebrations this week! Special thanks to our class advisors, senators, ASB officers, and leadership classes for leading this work!!!!
Homecoming Football Game TONIGHT!7:00 pm at the Shoreline Stadium. Our Scots will take on the Warriors from Edmonds-Woodway in this clash under the lights. The Booster BBQ starts at 6:00 pm.

Grab your green and gold and come join the fun!
Parent/Guardian Volunteers Still Needed for the Homecoming Dance. There are still a few spots available!!!

Once inside, everything is included with the price of the ticket and no additional money is needed. Entrance is through the back gym doors off the south parking lot.
Sock Drive Update:I want to personally apologize for the sock drive communication regarding dates of competition being unclear. I will work to improve that in the future. If anyone still has socks to bring in for The Works, they can be brought to the Main Office this week. Ultimately, we collected almost 300 pairs of new socks for our district’s free clothing store, The Works, that is run by our PTSA Council. Way to go Shorecrest! That is a win for everybody!

Info posted 9/30/22
Dear Shorecrest Families,
Thursday night was a successful Open House with a big crowd and great participation by our staff and volunteer ambassador students. Also thanks to the Shorecrest PTSA and Booster Club for taking part in the evening - both of these groups provide opportunities for parents to get involved and support school programs.
Next week is Homecoming Week with spirited and fun activities for students all week highlighted by the Homecoming Assembly and football game on Friday and the Homecoming Dance on Saturday. You will find detailed information about Homecoming below.
With Warmest Regards,
John Green, Principal
Shorecrest High School
JUNIORS - PSAT REGISTRATION The PSAT exam day will be administered on October 12 at Shorecrest.

- The cost of the PSAT exam is $18.**
- This purchase can be made September 19 - 28, 2022.
- Payment can be made in person at the ASB cashier window, or online at this link: https://wa-shoreline.
intouchreceipting.com/ - Last day to purchase is Wednesday, September 28, by 1:30 pm at the ASB window or midnight online.

- Juniors can try to earn a National Merit® Scholarship. Those who score in the top 1% of the PSAT test takers may receive a National Merit® Scholarship.
ACTIVITES UPDATE 2022-09-16 Update:
Highlander Homeroom Update: This week students started our regular block schedule rotation and met for the first time with their Highlander Homeroom class.

COVID-19 INFORMATION FOR SHORELINE SCHOOLS FAMILIES Washington State updated its COVID-19 school and child care guidance on August 5, 2022. Following these safety measures reduces the spread of COVID-19. This message explains how the updated guidance impacts your family and the community.
Health and Safety Requirements for this Fall:
- Students and staff who show symptoms of COVID-19 are required to stay home and should get tested for COVID-19.
- Students and staff who test positive for COVID-19 are required to isolate at home for 5 days.
- If symptoms improve and they have had no fever for the past 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications, students and staff can come back to school. DOH flowchart
- If students and staff meet the criteria to return to school after isolating at home for 5 days, they should wear a well-fitted mask from days 6 to 10. Individuals returning to school from isolation should also remain masked for sports and other extracurricular activities.
- Students and staff who test positive after 5 days of isolation must stay at home for the full 10-day isolation period.
- Schools will inform students, families, and staff when there are cases in school via weekly updates to the district COVID dashboard. Schools are no longer required to directly notify high-risk students or staff.

These requirements are in place for all public and private K-12 schools and child care facilities in Washington State. Schools and child care facilities are required by state law to follow these guidelines.

Booster doses are also available for children 5 years and older. You are encouraged to vaccinate your children if they are eligible, in consultation with your health care provider.

COVID-19 INFORMATION FOR SHORELINE SCHOOLS FAMILIES Washington State updated its COVID-19 school and child care guidance on August 5, 2022. Following these safety measures reduces the spread of COVID-19. This message explains how the updated guidance impacts your family and the community.
Health and Safety Requirements for this Fall:
- Students and staff who show symptoms of COVID-19 are required to stay home and should get tested for COVID-19.
- Students and staff who test positive for COVID-19 are required to isolate at home for 5 days.
- If symptoms improve and they have had no fever for the past 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications, students and staff can come back to school. DOH flowchart
- If students and staff meet the criteria to return to school after isolating at home for 5 days, they should wear a well-fitted mask from days 6 to 10. Individuals returning to school from isolation should also remain masked for sports and other extracurricular activities.
- Students and staff who test positive after 5 days of isolation must stay at home for the full 10-day isolation period.
- Schools will inform students, families, and staff when there are cases in school via weekly updates to the district COVID dashboard. Schools are no longer required to directly notify high-risk students or staff.
- Our state’s requirement for school employees to be fully vaccinated to protect against COVID-19 or have obtained a medical or religious exemption is still in place.
These requirements are in place for all public and private K-12 schools and child care facilities in Washington State. Schools and child care facilities are required by state law to follow these guidelines.
To reduce the spread of COVID-19, free COVID-19 testing for students and staff is available at many nearby locations, including the UW Medicine COVID-19 Shoreline testing site: 15499 15th Ave. NE, Shoreline, WA 98155 and their Aurora testing site: 12040 Aurora Ave. N, Seattle, WA 98133
Households are encouraged to test as needed at home. In Washington State, you can receive free self-tests from the Say Yes! COVID Test program. Most insurance covers the costs of up to 8 self-tests per individual per month.
COVID-19 vaccinations remain the best protection for everyone against hospitalization and severe disease from COVID-19. The COVID-19 vaccine is now available for children 6 months and older. Booster doses are also available for children 5 years and older. You are encouraged to vaccinate your children if they are eligible, in consultation with your health care provider.
For more information, we encourage you to read “Back to school and COVID-19: What parents should know,” from the Public Health Insider blog.
SHORECREST REMINDERS How to Arrange Early Dismissals
If your student needs an early dismissal for an appointment or other such reason, please notify our attendance office in advance by emailing sc.attendance@ssd412.org. We would like to know of the early dismissal at least one day in advance so we can prepare a pass to give to the student. When you arrive to pick up your child without prior notice, please know it will take more time for us to locate your student (oftentimes PE classes are on the field or on a walk) and have them meet you. If you would like to call, the Attendance Office phone is 206.393.4294
Visitors/Families on Campus
Anyone coming to school is asked to please check in with the Main Office when you enter the building.

Dear Shorecrest Students and Families
This week was a short week but a good week at Shorecrest. Our students got back into the routines of school very quickly and all classes went smoothly. The Shorecrest staff is working together to show their students the how of school but most importantly are stressing the why of school in their individual classes.
Next week we will be on our normal schedule with 'Odd' and 'Even' days on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and an early release 'All' day on Wednesday.
Check out the Fall Open House information below.
Best wishes to all of you,
John Green
Principal
Shorecrest High School
STUDENT DROP OFF AND PICK UP
Please do not drop off or pick up your student in the front parking lot of the main building for student safety and for the ease of our buses who rely on this area being open in the morning and afternoon. Buses are also traveling throughout the school day to provide transportation to and from Shorewood so the bus only lanes need to remain open during school hours.
To pick up or drop off your student please go to the north parking lot (driveway is located behind, north of, the theater). Please follow the signs to loop around the lot and pick up your student outside the building (for students, they will need to exit out the door by the green stairs). To help get out of the north parking lot quickly, remember to only turn right onto to 25th Avenue.NOT TOO LATE TO ORDER SCHOOL PICTURES If you have not already ordered school pictures there is still time.
