The Shorewood High School Stormrays

Monday, January 10, 2022

Shorewood High School

Shorewood High School students and staff were able to unwrap a special surprise prior to heading off for winter break. At a special all-school assembly on December 17, 2021 the school’s new mascot — The Shorewood Stormrays — was unveiled. You can watch the student-produced unveiling video here.

This followed a lengthy selection process that included over 150 mascot idea submissions from the community, student voting, and a mascot selection committee made up of students, staff, alumni and parents/guardians. 

The Stormray is loosely derived from the Pacific electric ray, which is found in Washington coastal waters. A large group of “rays” is called a “fever” and evokes the idea of many rays moving forward with common purpose, grace, power, strength and speed.

“We sought to honor our past and look to the future in recognizing school cultural values- community, inclusiveness, connection, creativity and a connection to our environment,” said Shorewood Principal Bill Dunbar. 
“Our committee placed a high value finding a creative and unique mascot that’s representative of the characteristics, strengths and values of our student body.”

The school is now in the process of working with graphic designers to develop the imagery and style that will be used to represent the Shorewood Stormrays mascot.

The mascot change was completed in accordance with Washington State House Bill 1356, which prohibits the inappropriate use of Native American names, symbols, or images as public school mascots, logos, or team names by January 1, 2022, and by a resolution of the Shoreline School Board

The school's previous mascot, the Thunderbird, was a powerful mythological creature that is a part of the history and culture of many Native American tribes and indigenous people. It was appropriated as the Shorewood mascot in 1975.

The University of Washington is delaying in person classes for the first week of the winter quarter at all three of its campuses. Most classes will be online January 3-9, 2022. 

They say that they are committed to in-person education and look forward to returning in person January 10.

As Omicron spreads, they want to provide more time for testing and boosters between holiday travel and gatherings and the start of winter quarter, 

A week of primarily online classes will help minimize disruptions caused by the Omicron variant and enable more people to receive a vaccination booster prior to in-person classes. 

It will also provide an additional week for people to monitor for symptoms and take post-gathering and post-travel COVID tests.

KCSO: Supporting School Safety in King County

Saturday, December 18, 2021


From the King County Sheriff's Office

There is no higher priority for the men and women of the King County Sheriff’s Office than the safety of our communities. We are aware that this week, both locally and elsewhere, unsubstantiated social media content has caused some families concern for the wellbeing of their children. 

The King County Sheriff’s Office wants to assure everyone in our community that we, in collaboration with school districts and regional partners, will remain vigilant in assessing on-line comments and holding those accountable who seek to harm or disrupt our schools.

King County Sheriff Mitzi G. Johanknecht said, “For nearly 37-years I have committed myself to protecting the safety and welfare of my neighbors in King County. I am proud to lead a group of deputies and detectives who share my unwavering vision to keep families and schools free of violence.”

The Sheriff’s Office is presently unaware of any credible threats to King County schools. 

We thank school officials for their continued vigilance and ask them to dial 911 to report concerning events or behavior. Any new and credible information will be shared to ensure the safety of all who call King County home.

Message from Superintendent Reyes regarding nationwide TikTok threat trend

Friday, December 17, 2021

Dr. Susana Reyes, Superintendent of Shoreline Schools
Dr. Susana Reyes, Superintendent
Shoreline Schools

Our school district has become aware of a troubling post that has been widely shared nationwide this week on the social media platform TikTok. 

The post refers to a threat to school safety “for every school in the USA” on Friday, December 17.

The post appears to be part of a national TikTok trend and did not originate in our school district or any other district in our state. 

We have heard reports from other districts that the same post is circulating in their schools. You can read an article about this national trend here.

Because of how widely broadcast this has been in the media and on social media, we have had a number of students report concerns today.

While we do not believe the threat to be credible, we are closely monitoring the situation and taking it seriously. 

If there is ever a credible threat to any of our schools, families would be notified by us directly and our safety protocols would be enacted immediately.

The King County Sheriff’s Office also shared this press release today stating that “the Sheriff’s Office is presently unaware of any credible threats to King County schools.”

This situation serves as a good example of why it is important to avoid sharing posts online that refer to school safety threats. Even if they are not credible threats, they can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety for our students, families, and staff. We ask our families to monitor their children’s social media activity and speak with them about proper behavior online.

If you or your child become aware of any potential threat posted to social media or anywhere else, please notify a school staff member or trusted adult right away. Safety tips can also be submitted via text, email, phone or web 24/7 through our Vector Alert Online Tip Reporting System.

As always, thank you for your partnership as we work to ensure a safe, secure, and positive learning environment for our students.

Free breakfast and lunch to Shoreline Schools K-12 students regardless of household income

Wednesday, September 1, 2021

For the 2021-2022 school year, which starts in Shoreline Schools on Wednesday, September 1, 2021, the federal government has funded a temporary program that will allow school districts to serve FREE breakfast and lunch to all K-12 students regardless of household income.

While school meals will be free for all students, it is still very important for families to fill out a free/reduced-price meal application

Students approved for free or reduced-price meals may qualify for other school district and community benefits. This may include reduced or waived fees for: ASB Cards, Sports Fees, Technology Fees, AP Testing, Scholarships, PEBT Funds, Internet Costs, and more.

Food and Nutrition Services' goal is to serve students quickly and efficiently while following state and local health guidelines.
  • There will be no a la carte, cash or adult meal sales at elementary schools.
  • A la carte items and adult meals will be available at middle and high schools. These purchases must be paid using funds on your account or cash.

Menus will be simplified, with items pre-wrapped/cupped for quick service and to reduce touchpoints. 

They will still offer hot breakfast and lunch options, including some of their scratch recipe favorites.

Learn more on our Food and Nutrition Services website or by contacting them at nutrition.services@shorelineschools.org or 206-393-4209.

CORRECTION: Shoreline does not have school zone cameras

Thursday, August 26, 2021

Photo courtesy WSDOT
In a recent article about the start of school and speed restrictions by schools, it was stated incorrectly that Shoreline has speed zone cameras.

The cameras are only in Lake Forest Park where two major east west routes go alongside the boundaries of elementary schools.

Shoreline has school zone speed restriction signs and flashing lights but no cameras.

Drivers should remember that school activities and classes can take place year-round from early morning to late afternoon.

Inslee announces educator vaccination requirement and statewide indoor mask mandate

Wednesday, August 18, 2021

Inslee announces educator vaccination requirement at press conference

Today, Governor Inslee announced vaccination requirements for educators and child care workers and expanded the mask requirement across the state.

Educator vaccine requirement

K -12 educators, school staff, coaches, bus drivers, school volunteers and others working in school facilities will have until October 18, 2021 to be fully vaccinated as a condition of employment. 

The requirement includes public, private and charter schools, and comes as schools across the state prepare to return for the 2021–2022 school year amid rapidly increasing case and hospitalization numbers. This does not impact students, regardless of age.

“It has been a long pandemic, and our students and teachers have borne their own unique burdens throughout,” Inslee said. “This virus is increasingly impacting young people, and those under the age of 12 still can’t get the vaccine for themselves. We won’t gamble with the health of our children, our educators and school staff, nor the health of the communities they serve.”
“As our school buildings reopen this fall for in-person learning, vaccination of our school employees will be a key mitigation measure to protect the health and safety of our students, staff, and families,” said Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal. “Our ability to maintain continued in-person learning without major COVID-related disruptions will depend on low virus transmission within our schools. I appreciate the governor’s leadership in taking this important step in the fight against the spread of this virus.”

As with state employees and private healthcare workers, there will be no test out option. Unions may bargain with school districts to negotiate time off to receive the vaccine or recover from symptoms of the vaccine. Just like the state worker mandate, there are limited exceptions under law which employees may apply for, including legitimate medical reasons and sincerely held religious beliefs. Individuals who refuse to get vaccinated will be subject to dismissal.

Higher education and childcare/early learning

Inslee also announced a vaccine requirement for employees in Washington’s higher education institutions, as well as for most childcare and early learning providers who serve children from multiple households.

Education staff, faculty and contractors are required to be fully vaccinated by October 18, consistent with the state worker vaccination requirement timeline.

Childcare providers affected by the requirement include the following groups
  • Licensed, certified and contracted early learning and childcare programs
  • License-exempt early learning, childcare and youth-development programs
  • Contractors (coaches, volunteers, trainers, etc.)

Not included in this mandate are providers delivering FFN (family, friends and neighbors) care.

Statewide mask mandate

The governor also announced that the existing statewide mask mandate will be expanded to once again include vaccinated individuals in indoor settings effective Monday, August 23.

The expansion comes after Washington recently broke the previous record for COVID hospitalizations set in December. Every county in the state currently falls within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) substantial or high transmission, and each of the state’s 35 local health officers recently recommended all individuals wear masks indoors.

“In Washington we continue to see an increase of cases, hospitalizations,” said Umair A. Shah, MD, MPH, Secretary of Health. “Vaccines are safe and effective, but they take time to work. As our vaccination efforts continue, we are asking the public to take additional protections to help slow the spread of COVID in communities. Wearing a mask helps to protect yourself and each other.”

The mask mandate will apply to most all public places across the state, including restaurants, grocery stores, malls and public-facing offices, regardless of vaccination status.

There will be limited exceptions when face coverings won’t be required, such as office spaces not easily accessible to the public where individuals are vaccinated, and when working alone indoors or in a vehicle with no public face-to-face interaction. Small, private indoor gatherings where all attendees are vaccinated are also exempt.

“We have seen over the last year how widespread masking also saves lives by reducing infection,” Inslee said. “I know this will frustrate some vaccinated folks who thought they wouldn’t have to do this anymore. There are not enough people vaccinated. The result is the explosive growth of a much more infectious strain, the Delta variant, and its increasingly concerns impacts on people of all ages.”

While not required, the Department of Health strongly recommends individuals also wear masks in crowded outdoor settings, such as outdoor concerts, fairs and farmers markets.

Inslee: State to maintain mandatory masking for K-12 students this fall

Sunday, August 1, 2021

COVID-19 hospitalizations in Washington state: vaccinated vs unvaccinated

Gov. Jay Inslee announced Wednesday the state would maintain mandatory masking for K-12 students this fall. At a press conference in Olympia, Inslee also announced the state recommends Washingtonians wear masks in public indoor spaces in communities where there is substantial or high COVID spread, consistent with the latest CDC guidelines.

After months of decline in COVID activity, cases and hospitalizations are surging in Washington and around the country as states lift restrictions while the rate of vaccinations have slowed. According to the state Department of Health, 94% of COVID hospitalizations in Washington are currently among the unvaccinated.

At the same time, the more infectious delta variant of the virus is becoming the dominant strain around the country, including Washington state. COVID vaccinations are the safest and most effective way to prevent severe illness and infection from COVID.

Kristin Esterberg selected as chancellor of UW Bothell

Sunday, June 27, 2021

Kristin Esterberg, new chancellor of UW Bothell
University of Washington President Ana Mari Cauce and Provost Mark A. Richards today announced the selection of Kristin Esterberg, president of the State University of New York at Potsdam, as chancellor of the University of Washington Bothell. 

Her appointment, pending approval by the UW Board of Regents, is set to begin October 1, 2021.

Esterberg will succeed Wolf Yeigh, who has served as chancellor since 2013 and will now return to the faculty as a professor of engineering.

“I’m delighted to have Dr. Esterberg join the UW Bothell community. Dr. Esterberg brings extensive administrative leadership experience to the UW, as well as success in advancing diversity, equity and inclusion at SUNY Potsdam, where about 35% of students identify as students of color and significant numbers identify as LGBTQ+,” Cauce said. 
“She has developed and maintained close relationships with the Potsdam community and nearby colleges, connections that have been especially important in promoting health and safety among students and the public throughout the pandemic. 
"Within the SUNY system, she has taken leadership roles in SUNY task forces on racial equity, sexual violence prevention and global learning. We welcome Kristin and are excited about the future.”


At SUNY Potsdam, Esterberg currently leads one of America’s first 50 colleges and the oldest institution in the State University of New York system. With a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, she has focused her leadership efforts on developing inclusive campus communities and providing transformational experiences to all students, including faculty-led research, service learning, internships and study abroad. 

Among her accomplishments is the successful completion of a $33.5 million fundraising campaign and securing the largest gift in campus history — $5.25 million — in support of applied learning.

“I am thrilled to be joining the UW Bothell community. The campus’s commitment to equity, inclusion and diversity, its innovative approach to cross-disciplinary and community-based teaching and scholarship, and its talented faculty, staff and students make this an extraordinary leadership opportunity,” Esterberg said. 
“I am deeply honored to be selected as UW Bothell’s next chancellor, and I am looking forward to advancing the campus’s strategic priorities to strengthen diversity and equity, enhance community and campus engagement, and advance cross-disciplinary teaching and scholarship. 
"As we emerge from the pandemic and learn from our experiences of the last year, it is a particularly exciting time to be joining UW Bothell.”


Prior to her term as SUNY Potsdam president, which began in 2014, Esterberg served as provost and academic vice president at Salem State University in Massachusetts and as deputy provost at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Her research has centered on gender and sexuality, social identities, research methodology and social organization and change.

Esterberg earned her master’s degree and doctorate in sociology from Cornell University, and her bachelor’s degree in philosophy and political science from Boston University.

About UW Bothell

UW Bothell’s commitment to increasing access to a UW education extends well beyond admissions: It includes offering evening, off-site and certificate programs that help make it possible for more students to pursue higher education. Known for the diversity of its student population — as measured by a variety of factors — UW Bothell has also been recognized for innovations in academic programming and support services designed to help students graduate on time and debt-free. 

As part of its commitment to excellence, UW Bothell places particular value on diversity and equity, community and campus engagement, and cross-disciplinary teaching and scholarship.

Echo Lake Elementary field construction underway

Friday, June 4, 2021

Echo Lake Elementary field construction photo by Steven H. Robinson

Echo Lake Elementary field construction began mid April 2021 with the demolition of the previous field.

The field has been plagued with drainage issues which often made many parts of it unusable. The school district hired an architect and contractor to solve the drainage issues and decided to enlarge the playing area at the same time.

At this point, the new stormwater detention system excavation and installation is complete.

The sod has been excavated at the west end of the field. The subgrade is established and approved by the architect.

The lateral drainage installation and permeable gravel base course are in progress.

The whole field will be resurfaced with artificial turf with a cork infill.
