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.

The most efficient and cost-friendly way to order is to visit mydorian.com, search for Shorecrest High School, click the green Order button that corresponds with your school picture day and place your order. This option is available for up to four (4) days after picture day. Picture Day was September 8.

 

Once all of the images have been processed. Any student that has not ordered will receive an email with a unique access code and instructions to preview their image and place an order. All orders placed using the unique access code will be shipped directly to the student’s home.

 

Did you miss picture day or want to retake your picture?

Find your school’s retake day date (October 3) and order information on mydorian.com by searching for your school. A student wishing to have their picture retaken should bring their original package back to school and return it to the photographer on retake picture day.

 

Digital downloads are delivered based on how you ordered.

If you ordered an image download online, you will receive an email with access to your image once it is ready. If you ordered with an envelope, you will receive your download instructions when packages are distributed at the school.

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.
