Gov. Inslee closes all schools, limits large gatherings, and expands protocols for adult family homes

Friday, March 13, 2020

Inslee announces measures to slow COVID-19

In order to further slow the spread of COVID-19, Gov. Jay Inslee announced his intention to sign several executive orders today to expand statewide closures of public, private, and charter schools, limit large gatherings and expand protocols for adult family homes.

Inslee made the announcement at the state Capitol in a larger venue than normal to practice social distancing measures.

Inslee expanded his order to close all K-12 public and private schools. Every district throughout the state of Washington will close for the next six weeks. 

He also announced activity restrictions for all statewide public and private universities, colleges, community colleges and technical schools, private career schools and apprenticeship training programs.

Inslee also announced two further executive orders expanding on orders from earlier this week. 

The first extends the ban on events of 250 or larger beyond the Puget Sound region to the entire state. 

The second expanded Tuesday's restrictions on visitors and protocols to nursing homes and assisted living facilities to include adult family homes and waived certain statutory requirements for long-term care workers.

Three Shoreline Schools staff are working from home to monitor health

Friday, February 28, 2020

Bothell High School in Northshore
has chosen to shut down for a few days
Out of an abundance of caution, Shoreline Public Schools currently has three staff members who are monitoring their health at home.

None are confirmed to have been exposed to the virus, and none are reporting symptoms.

One individual traveled with their family to Southeast Asia over mid-winter break, and the other two participated in a meeting at another school district that was led by an individual who has a family member who is now in quarantine but not confirmed to have the virus.

Again, none of our staff have been exposed to a confirmed case of the virus, and none are reporting symptoms.
We recognize we are being more cautious than the current recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and State Department of Health. 
We have sought additional guidance from King County Public Health specific to our situation. They have assured us that the risk to our schools, students, staff and community is low and are not recommending we close school or adjust our current procedures.

Bothell High School, in the Northshore School District, has shut down the entire school for a second day after a staff member who returned to work from international travel, reported that a family member traveling with them became sick.

Power of One volunteers move and learn

Thursday, February 20, 2020

Presenter Lori S. Dunn led the Power of One volunteers through a variety of movements and activities designed to ready the body and brain for learning, enhance academic skills and decrease stress and anxiety. 



Power of One volunteers gathered at the Shoreline-LFP Senior Center on February 12, 2020 for an engaging and informative afternoon of “Movement and Learning” with Lori S. Dunn, PreK-12 Physical Education and Health Literacy Program Manager for Seattle Public Schools. 

During this training, Lori shared simple ways to incorporate body and brain-stimulating movements into the work the volunteers do with students.

Gretchen Brookes (left) and Michele Lawson pair up for “1-2-3 Clap,” an activity designed to build group cohesion and relieve stress.


Sponsored by the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Center, Power of One matches volunteers 55 years and older with schools in the Shoreline school district. Volunteers give their time in a variety of ways, including tutoring, mentoring and helping in classrooms and libraries. Training and support are provided. Needs range from working with early childhood education (2-3 year olds) to high school students.

During 1-2-3 Clap, Peggy Hudson (left) and Darci Beacom learn that making mistakes is expected and welcome.


Designed to activate the right and left sides of the brain, integrating certain movements can help ready the brain for higher learning concepts like reading, comprehension, writing and math.

Watching their pointer finger while slowly drawing large figure eights sideways in the air, Power of One volunteers learn that this simple activity can improve memory, concentration and academic skills in writing, decoding written language and reading comprehension. Crossing the body’s midline helps stimulate both the right and left sides of the brain. (Front row: l to r: Dave Plude, Bill Bear, Cathy Floit and Shirley Parker. Back row: Michele Lawson and Gretchen Brooks)


In addition, specific types of movement can help improve memory, lengthen attention span, boost decision-making skills and decrease anxiety. 

Power of One volunteers learn to juggle scarves, taking care to cross the midline as they practice throwing and catching. Juggling enhances listening skills, memory, concentration, eye-hand coordination, note taking skills, and critical thinking and problem solving skills in addition to building self-confidence. (Back row: l to r: Mary Wilcox, Thelma Kauffman, Deanne Belinoff, Dave Plude and Bill Bear. Front row: Harriet Tibbits, Liz Rosenthal and Deborah Lamb.)


Through this “Movement and Learning” training, Power of One volunteers added more tools to their toolboxes for building deeper connections with students while enhancing learning in fun and simple ways.

Susan Mueller, Thelma Kauffman and Deanne Belinoff use both their dominant and non-dominant hands to spin a jack, another activity that stimulates both sides of the brain and increases concentration, coordination and problem solving skills.


Deborah Lamb, Shirley Fullner and Mary Tutch practice spinning jacks. This short and simple activity can be used before a task that requires focus and concentration.



If you would like to learn more about volunteer opportunities with the Power of One Volunteer Program, contact Terry Monette at 978-505-1709 or at terry.monette@shorelineschools.org. She will walk you through how to become a “Partner in Learning” as a Power of One volunteer.

House passes Pollet bill to protect students from lead in drinking water

Rep. Gerry Pollet, D-46
On Wednesday, February 19, the Washington House of Representatives passed a bill that will protect Washington school children from lead in drinking water.

House Bill 1860, sponsored by Rep. Gerry Pollet, D-46, and cosponsored by Rep. Cindy Ryu, will establish a 2025 deadline for schools to test all faucets used for drinking water or in food preparation at schools. 

Schools would repeat the testing every five years, paid for by the Department of Health. 

Schools would notify parents of results when elevated lead levels are found and develop action plans to reduce all lead levels to below nine parts-per-billion (ppb). 

The testing of all faucets used for drinking or food preparation and notification would be one of the strongest protections in the nation.

“When we send our children to school, the water we want them to drink shouldn’t reduce their IQ and ability to learn,” said Rep. Pollet, who is also a faculty member at the University of Washington School of Public Health. 
“The neurological and developmental problems created by even low levels of lead exposure have been well documented. It is time to protect our children here in Washington.”

Initial voluntary testing funded in the state budget. According to an analysis by a UW School of Public Health student, 616 schools participated in recent voluntary testing conducted by the Washington Department of Health and Seattle Public Schools. 

Of those schools, 38% had at least one faucet with lead levels over 20 ppb. Numerous schools had lead levels well over 100 ppb, and two schools had levels over 1,000 ppb. About 2,000 schools remain to be tested.

Remediation to below 9 ppb is typically accomplished with filters, flushing or valve replacement. The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) is already funded to provide grants to school districts to pay for these costs which are typically under $2,000.

House Bill 1860 passed the House with a bipartisan vote of 98-0 and now heads to the Senate for consideration.

Rep. Gerry Pollet, D-Seattle (46th Legislative District), represents part of King County and the city of Seattle including Lake Forest Park, Kenmore and Lake City.

A week of activities for Black Voices: A Community Opportunity Feb 3-7

Tuesday, January 21, 2020



In recognition of Black History Month, you are invited to join Shoreline Public Schools and the City of Shoreline in our inaugural Black Voices: A Community Opportunity on February 3-7, 2020. All are welcome!

This week of community evening events seeks to center Black voices, as well as celebrate and affirm our Black students and their families. 

Our community partnerships emphasize that our commitment to families must extend beyond the walls of our schools. We recognize that when the lights go off in our buildings, we still live, work and socialize together throughout our community. We learn best when we learn alongside one another, and recognize the wealth of knowledge those within our communities offer. 

As a community, we must affirm our commitment to learn from and look out for our neighbors, including those whose voices have been underrepresented in our current systems. We are committed to fostering those opportunities.

Police confiscate guns from home of student who brought ammunition to Shorecrest - student is known to police for previous incidents

Saturday, December 14, 2019

Police searching South Woods by Shorecrest High School

Thursday night, December 12, 2019, the Shoreline PD served an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) at the home of a 14 year old student who brought 200 rounds of ammunition to school on Monday.

Several rifles and handguns from the home were surrendered to police. All were locked in safes inside the house and registered to the teen's parents. The firearms were the same caliber as the ammunition that the involved students had in their possession on Monday.

This is not the first interaction police have had with this juvenile. There was a past incident with firing a weapon through a wall, that almost hit a neighbor; threats to obtain weapons and threats to harm.

That significant history is why the application for an extreme risk protection order was granted by a judge. 

Five specially trained dogs searched the school
grounds and surrounding area on Wednesday

At this point, no criminal charges have been filed pertaining to this incident and we have not uncovered any specific threats towards the school or students.

Shoreline Police have been working closely with Shoreline Public School's administration, the Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety of the students.

KCSO conducted several thorough searches of the school and surrounding area, including South Woods, using five specially trained ammunition and explosives detection dogs. No additional ammunition or weapons were found.

The ammunition was discovered on Monday by school staff. Subsequent stories of threats and weapons were rumors. Kellogg Middle School was locked for a few minutes but was not otherwise involved.

Shorecrest High School was in lock down for several hours on Monday, then closed on Wednesday for the extended search. Nothing was found in either search.

The school district central office said "Please join us in extending our appreciation to all of our law enforcement partners and school staff for all they have done this week to investigate this matter and keep our school community safe."

Shorecrest cleared to open Thursday on normal schedule after search by five K9 units

Wednesday, December 11, 2019

Shorecrest High School

The stories about the threat to Shorecrest were rumors and misinformation. 
There was no weapon.
There was no shooting planned. 
Kellogg was not involved.

However, there were students who brought 200 rounds of ammunition to the school, which was found by staff on Monday. The school was then locked down and searched. Kellogg was put in lock out for a few minutes simply because it is next door to Shorecrest.

Statement from Shoreline Public Schools:

We are writing to let you know that Shorecrest will be open tomorrow, Thursday, December 12 and will operate on a normal schedule. 

Law enforcement has assured us that there is no credible or substantiated threat to our students and staff; however, there will be an extra police presence on campus tomorrow to help students, staff and families feel comfortable in returning to school.

Below are the details of the alleged threat and investigation that we are able to share.

Tuesday evening, we received multiple tips that a gun was seen on campus on Friday, December 6, 2019 and that there was a shooting planned for Friday, December 13. 

Details of the tip claimed that the weapon was hidden in the South Woods (wooded area south of the school). 

Wednesday, a team of five ammunition and explosive detection dogs conducted a comprehensive search of the South Woods and the Shorecrest campus.
This was in addition to a search conducted by two detection dogs on Monday. They did not find any weapons or ammunition. 

School administrators and law enforcement also conducted dozens of interviews with students who had claimed to have heard about a weapon on campus.

After thorough interviews and investigation, it was determined the claims were the result of rumors and misinformation relating to the lockdown that occurred on Monday. 

Again, there has been no evidence that a weapon was on campus or that a threat to the school existed.

Monday’s lockdown was the result of the discovery of 200 rounds of ammunition by staff. Students involved were identified and contacted by police. They are subject to legal and disciplinary consequences.

There are two processes currently taking place with regard to these students — law enforcement’s criminal investigation, which may lead to criminal charges, and the school disciplinary process.

In terms of school discipline, we are not permitted by law to share disciplinary action. What we can share is that no student will be permitted on the Shorecrest campus or to return to Shorecrest campus if there is any safety concern. 

We take a very deliberate set of actions in conjunction with law enforcement, including a complete threat assessment process, to help guide our decision-making. 

What has happened this week was a very serious matter that impacted our entire community. We are taking it extremely seriously and have taken advantage of all the legal, and school disciplinary, actions available to us.

We know that these types of experiences can have a mental and emotional toll

We will have our counseling teams on hand to support students who need someone to talk to or to help process their feelings. Please encourage your child to seek this support out if you feel they would benefit from it. 

We know that you, as parents and guardians, have helped your children through many difficult or scary issues throughout their lives. It is still hard to do every time. 

Here is a link to our webpage with tips about talking to children about school threats from the National Association of School Psychologists that you can use in having your own conversations with your child about their feelings. 

You can also contact your school’s office to request any additional support your child may need.

Shorecrest classes cancelled Wednesday for investigation of additional threat

Tuesday, December 10, 2019

Shorecrest High School
Photo by Steven H. Robinson
All Shorecrest High School classes and afterschool activities are canceled for tomorrow, Wednesday, December 11, 2019.

Shorecrest is located at 15343 25th Ave NE, Shoreline, WA 98155.

This evening, we received multiple tips stating there was a potential threat to Shorecrest that may be related to yesterday’s lockdown. 

The tips included specific information and details that Shoreline Police Department is currently investigating. 

At this point, we do not have enough information to determine whether the threat is credible or not, so we are canceling classes at Shorecrest tomorrow out of an abundance of caution and to provide our law enforcement partners with the ability to further investigate and determine next steps.

If you or your child have any information regarding this matter, please contact the Shoreline Police Department at 206-296-3311, dial 911 or use our SafeSchool Alert tip line.

Canceling school is never a decision we make lightly, but we feel it is necessary to fully ensure the safety of students and staff. We will share more information with you tomorrow after we consult further with school administrators and law enforcement.

Shorecrest in Lockdown for three hours after report of ammunition at school

Monday, December 9, 2019

Shorecrest High School
Photo by Steven H. Robinson
Shorecrest High School on 25th NE was in Lockdown Monday, December 9, 2019 from about 11:30am - 2:30pm and next door Kellogg Middle School was put into a Lockout as a precautionary measure for about 10 minutes from 11:40-11:50am as police assessed a situation at Shorecrest.

A LOCKDOWN is when all exterior and classroom doors and windows are locked and students remain in their classrooms. No one is permitted to enter or leave the school during a lockdown.

A LOCKOUT is when all exterior doors are secured and no one goes in or out, but normal operations and learning continue within the school. Please avoid the area and do not attempt to come on campus as you will not be allowed entry to the school while in LOCKOUT.

Shorecrest Principal Lisa Gonzalez sent this communication to parents:

Dear Shorecrest Families,

I’m writing to share more information about the lockdown that occurred at our school today.

This morning a parent of a Shorecrest student reported to school security that they had found ammunition in their child’s backpack. School security immediately notified Shoreline Police and located the student in question.

Police immediately responded and we placed the school into lockdown while they investigated.

During the course of the investigation, they identified four students who were alleged to have been involved in acquiring ammunition and/or bringing the ammunition to school. 

The students involved will be held accountable through our discipline processes, however privacy laws do not allow us to share what discipline they will face.

Police conducted a thorough investigation, including an extensive search using two explosive and firearm detection dogs, and did not find any weapons on campus. 

We understand that hearing about these types of situations can cause anxiety and concern, but please know that we always have the safety and security of your children as our highest priority. We appreciate the incredible support and professionalism of our law enforcement partners for all they do to keep our schools safe. We will have additional police presence on campus in the morning as a sign of support for our students and families.

We always appreciate when safety and security concerns are brought to our attention as soon as possible for us to act on.

If you ever have a safety or security concern, please do not hesitate to tell a school staff member or use our SafeSchool Alert tip line. The tip line can accept tip submissions through text, website, email or phone call.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me or Shoreline Police Department.

Parkwood Elementary dedicated Nov 19

Friday, November 22, 2019


Photos courtesy Shoreline Schools except as noted

Parkwood Elementary opened their doors to the community and celebrated their new school’s dedication on November 19, 2019.

 

The school, which opened to students and staff in September, was completely rebuilt thanks to a 2017 school construction bond that was overwhelmingly approved by 73 percent of Shoreline School District voters.



That bond also included funding to construct the Edwin Pratt Early Learning Center and rebuild Einstein and Kellogg Middle Schools.



The new Parkwood Elementary features a bright and open two-story design. Its 64,800 square feet of space is home to classrooms and flexible learning spaces designed to support diverse learning experiences, styles and needs.



Parkwood Principal Ann Torres noted that the school was collaboratively designed to reflect their core mission, vision and values. 

“A 15-member design team worked for nearly a year to think and develop a physical building that will take our children into the future,” said Torres. 
“We worked to create a building that was inclusive, adaptive, flexible, fit within the neighborhood and prioritized a sense of community and teamwork.”



Its classrooms are grouped into learning pods that have a common shared space that is used for shared learning, projects, independent work, team teaching and creative activities.



The school’s overall layout maximizes instructional time by facilitating efficient movement and streamlined access to instructional resources.



The school’s spaces allow for large and small-scale performances, celebrations and community events. It also has centralized access to shared staff spaces while simultaneously provides quiet spaces for private activities and work.



Before attendees were led on tours of the building, Superintendent Rebecca Miner recognized the work of many in helping make the new Parkwood a reality. 

“Countless people and organizations contributed their time, effort and resources to build this school and provide many future generations of Shoreline’s youngest learners with a learning environment and experience that will set them on a path to become lifelong learners,” said Miner. 
“Today, we celebrate the many hands that helped build this school, both literally and figuratively.”
