Progress on restrooms for Einstein and Hillwood Park

Monday, May 23, 2022

It has been a long time with no restrooms available for Hillwood Park, but now construction appears close to completion.

During Shoreline School District’s construction of the new Einstein Middle School, the City and School District agreed to a temporary construction easement that allowed for materials storage and construction staging in Hillwood Park. In consideration for the School District’s use of the park, the district agreed to rebuild the park’s restroom facility.

Construction of the new restrooms began on February 22 2022 with demolition of the old structure. The new restroom structure is modular and arrived fully assembled for installation and utility hook up. 

Construction was expected to be fully completed by the end of April, but was delayed slightly. 

City of Shoreline owns the land and will maintain the restroom, as it’s part of Hillwood park. Shoreline Schools is paying for the restroom itself and its installation, as part of the agreement to use some of their land while Einstein Middle School was being built.

Our teachers all have master's degrees and experience working with neurodiverse students.

Want to start your school year strong? The Polytech offers one-on-one tutoring in all academic subjects as well as executive function skills such as organization, time management, breaking down large assignments into manageable pieces, and studying for tests in addition to completing written assignments. Summer is a great time to prep for a new school year.

Not sure what to do? Career interest assessments can help identify the overlap between interests, skills, and preferred work environment, and our career consultants explain the results with both written reports and a one-on-one meeting that outlines next steps for long-term career planning, choosing a college major, or an immediate job search.

In addition to traditional academic and career-related courses, The Polytech offers help with the skills necessary to transition to adulthood. They offer a short course on food safety that enables students to earn a WA Food Worker card, plus culinary arts classes where students cook in their own kitchens with feedback from the online teacher in real time. 

They provide prep for the written exam to get a driving permit, and have a commercial-grade driving simulator to allow practice in a variety of weather and traffic conditions. It's a perfect way to boost confidence before driving in an actual vehicle, and allows neurodiverse and anxious drivers to experience risky driving scenarios in a safe environment.

Edmonds School District names former Shoreline Schools Supt. Rebecca Miner as interim superintendent

Wednesday, April 27, 2022

Dr. Rebecca Miner
From MLTNews.com

The Edmonds School District Board of Directors on Tuesday night voted to extend an offer to Dr. Rebecca Miner to be interim superintendent for the 2022-23 school year. 

The school board voted on their decision during the Tuesday, April 26 board meeting. Pending completion of contract negotiations, Miner will start with the district on July 1.

“We look forward to having Dr. Miner serve the Edmonds School District,” said School Board President Dr. Nancy Katims. 
“We are confident Dr. Miner will continue the work of the district’s strategic plan and will keep the district moving forward in a positive direction.”

Miner was the superintendent of the Shoreline School District for seven years. Prior to that, she spent three years at White Pass School District. She is currently supporting districts as a Washington Association of School administrators lead for the inclusionary practices project and also currently serves as the interim assistant superintendent for teaching, learning and equity in the Evergreen School District. 

She has been an administrator overseeing special education services, an associate principal, a high school teacher of language arts, and a middle school special education and Spanish teacher.

“I am thrilled to begin my new role as interim superintendent for the Edmonds School District,” Miner said. “I look forward to supporting the critical work of the district for the upcoming school year.”

Miner has mentored many aspiring and new career superintendents and has a passion for providing support to educators in all positions. She is committed to equitable outcomes for students and truly believes in education as a pathway to a lifetime of success.

Miner grew up in Vancouver, Washington. She and her husband Timothy Buckley look forward to relocating to the district, attending school events and also enjoying the many amenities the area has to offer.

Current Superintendent Dr. Gustavo Balderas announced in mid-March that he will resign his position at the end of June for a job in Oregon. Since that time, the school board worked to find an interim superintendent.

The board’s goal was to find someone who not only knows Washington state and Snohomish County, but also had an extensive positive experience as a superintendent.

The board selected their top two candidates for interviews, in which they asked questions provided by stakeholder groups. The board hired a search firm to help with the vetting of the candidates, which led to the selection of Miner.

The school board will begin an extensive national search for the district’s next permanent superintendent this fall and will seek extensive input from a variety of key stakeholders, a district announcement said.

State Board of Health votes not to include COVID-19 in required immunizations for school entry but supports vaccinations

Thursday, April 14, 2022

On Wednesday, April 13, 2022, the Washington State Board of Health (SBOH) voted not to include COVID-19 in the state’s immunization requirements for school entry at this time.

As stated in the SBOH meeting, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) supports the recommendation of the SBOH’s technical advisory group (TAG) and thanks the TAG for its thorough and methodical and transparent review of this matter over several months.

During the SBOH discussion, it was made clear that both DOH and SBOH continue to support COVID-19 vaccines as being safe and effective, and particularly protective against severe illness, hospitalization, and death. 

Staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccine recommendations is the best way to protect community members against COVID-19.

DOH continues to remind community members to help protect our schools, educators, and students by urging everyone to continue to do their part by getting vaccinated and boosted, if eligible. DOH reminds people to wear a mask if needed, stay home and get tested if they feel sick, and follow isolation recommendations if they test positive.

DOH states that COVID-19 is increasing in some communities, and we must still actively work to prevent its spread.

Shoreline Public Schools Foundation awards March grants

Thursday, April 7, 2022

It has been another busy and fulfilling month for the Shoreline Public Schools Foundation (SPSF). In addition to our annual spring fundraising campaign, which concluded on March 31, 2022 the board approved three more grants in the month of March.

A grant submitted by the LAP teacher at Echo Lake Elementary has afforded seventy-five students in both the kindergartener and the Special Education program at Echo Lake Elementary to benefit from the Heggerty Phonemic Awareness Curriculum. 

This curriculum is an invaluable tool in helping struggling and early readers establish stronger phonemic awareness. A foundational understanding of phonemic awareness directly impacts reading, writing, spelling and speech.

Thanks to a grant submitted by the Family Advocate at Highland Terrace Elementary, Spanish speaking Hispanic and Latino families will meet several times from now until the end of the school year, to discuss how to best support their student’s education, to share experiences and to build a stronger community. 

These meetings will be sponsored in-part by the SPSF. These gatherings provide a means of inclusion for diverse families and a way to participate in the decision-making process at Highland Terrace.

Over 700 students at Shorecrest and Shorewood High School as well as Kellogg and Einstein Middle School, will have access to a more diverse and inclusive set of award-winning books for book clubs, thanks to a recent grant submitted from the librarian at Shorewood High School. 

Book clubs within our schools have an enormous impact on the culture of reading and promote a community of readers with books that represent and reflect our diverse student population.

A huge thank you to the teachers who wrote and submitted these grants and to the generous donors of the Shoreline Public Schools Foundation. 

Your donations allow us to fulfill our mission of funding opportunities for educational success for all students within the Shoreline district. If you would like to donate to the SPSF, please visit our website at shorelinefoundation.org

UW Bothell receives $1.5M from Congress, signed by President Biden

Saturday, March 19, 2022

BOTHELL, Washington -- An initiative to meet the urgent need for behavioral health education for K-12 public school teachers and a new center that will support the fast-growing cluster of biomedical, biotechnology and bioengineering companies in the region have secured significant funding from Congress.

The School of Nursing and Health Studies and the School of STEM at the University of Washington Bothell each received $750,000 as part of the $1.5 trillion FY 2022 omnibus spending bill approved last week and signed by President Joe Biden on March 15, 2022..

Long before the coronavirus pandemic began, teachers rated mental health as the most pressing issue affecting K-12 students. 

One out of every five children and youth in the United States has a diagnosable emotional, behavioral or mental health disorder. One out of every 10 has a mental health challenge that impacts their ability to function at school and at home. 

Gender minority students have at least twice the rate of suicide as other students. On average, there is only one nurse for every 6,000 students in K-12 districts.

School of Nursing and Health Studies.

“With our colleagues in the School of Educational Studies, we developed the Behavioral Health Initiative to support teachers and other staff in K-12 districts in our region,” said Dr. Shari Dworkin, dean of the School of Nursing & Health Studies. 

“It is designed to increase behavioral health knowledge and skills and to address the social-emotional development, well-being and success trajectories of students.

After a successful pilot program in the Renton School District, this funding will allow us to expand to more school districts across the state and relieve the many pressures placed on K-12 educators and staff that were exacerbated by the pandemic.”

The $750,000 earmarked for the School of STEM will go toward expanding curriculum, increasing student-faculty research to support innovation and creating a pipeline of talent for the biotech/biomedical device sector. These are the goals for the future Center for Biotechnology Innovation & Training, a partnership between UW Bothell and local biotech, medical device and other life science sectors.

School of STEM.Photo courtesy UW.
“This funding will greatly increase our ability to keep pace with the growth experienced by the Biomedical Device Innovation Partnership Zone,” said Dr. Leslie Cornick, dean of the School of STEM. 

“Currently these biotech firms can’t expand locally due to a shortage of trained life scientists, and there is concern they may choose to relocate altogether.” 

The CBIT will develop a future workforce of UW Bothell graduates, including those traditionally underrepresented in STEM, with a high level of training specifically tailored to the industry. It will house a multidisciplinary core of UW Bothell faculty from chemistry, biology, engineering, physics, computer science, health studies and business with expertise in multiple areas of biotechnology and biomedical device engineering and advanced manufacturing.

Additionally, affiliate faculty from the biotech and medical device industry sectors will be an integral part of the teaching and training core. “We can now explore space in Canyon Park and be imbedded in the life sciences sector,” said Cornick. 

“This is great news for our students, our faculty, existing firms and the future companies that will enterprise from CBIT.” 
“This congressional allocation recognizes the overall innovation ecosystem that is thriving at UW Bothell and that we want to expand,” said Dr. Sharon A. Jones, UW Bothell’s vice chancellor for Academic Affairs. 
“We are grateful to Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray for their efforts to secure this funding that will move us closer to our vision to be the catalyst that elevates quality of life for our region.”

DECA recognizes King's High School chapter for outstanding school-based enterprise

Friday, February 4, 2022

Weston Campbell, left, and Miller Mann are 11th grade students at King's

A school-based enterprise managed by two DECA students at King’s High School has been awarded with “Gold Level” certification and will be recognized at DECA’s upcoming International Career Development Conference in Atlanta.

School-based enterprises, or “SBE’s”, are entrepreneurial operations managed and operated by students as hands-on learning laboratories that integrate marketing, finance, hospitality and management under the direction of DECA chapter advisors. 

For their SBE, King’s High School students Miller Mann and Weston Campbell submitted a comprehensive presentation on The Market, an on-campus retail outlet.

Stated one of the DECA judges in response to Miller’s and Weston’s presentation: “I just had the pleasure of judging the SBE submission on The Market... WOW. Very impressed with how these kids adapted, stayed flexible, enhanced their vision and kept the focus positive while they faced numerous challenges. A wonderful story, and one that was presented beautifully.”

King’s H.S. DECA Chapter Advisor Marian Morris added: 

“I am so impressed with the perseverance and tenacity of Miller and Weston. This year has been one challenge after another, and these two young men have met each challenge with a positive attitude. Their problem-solving skills and creativity are reflected in The Market’s success this year.”

By way of their Gold Level certification, Mann and Campbell are pre-qualified for DECA’s international competition, which will be held in Atlanta April 23-27, 2022. Other King’s H.S. DECA students will have an opportunity to qualify at the upcoming state competition in Bellevue March 3-5.

Established in 1950, King’s Schools provides an exemplary Christian education that serves the needs of students with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. King’s serves students from preschool through grade 12 on a 56-acre campus in Shoreline and is part of the CRISTA Ministries Family, joined by CRISTA Camps, CRISTA Media, CRISTA Senior Living and World Concern.

All about the School District Levies Renewal

Saturday, January 22, 2022

By Donna Hawkey

Two Shoreline School District levy renewals on the February 8th ballot will soon arrive in your mailbox. Proposition 1 replaces the expiring levy for “Educational Programs and Operations”. Proposition 2 replaces the expiring “Capital Levy for Technology Improvements and Support.”

School levies are essential as they pay for what is not paid for by state and federal governments. Even after the 2012 McCleary legislation act designed to fund public schools fully, the complex controversy over the definition of "fully" or well-funded schools continues today in Olympia.

Did you know that the state allocates less than one school nurse for our entire district? Every Shoreline School has a nurse due to the difference paid by the local Prop 1 levy.

Parent Sara Betnel, who is a school board member, said, "Having a nurse in every school has always been important for the health of our students, and it's been even more so over the past few years. Can you imagine not having nurses in our schools during a pandemic?"

Levies support students and teachers, culminating in the district receiving numerous acknowledgments for its high-scoring schools, as noted in publications such as The Washington Post and US News.

An example of how the Shoreline District invests in its teachers; Prop 1 allows for additional teacher training with a total of eight days per year versus just three that the government budgets.

And the Proposition 2 levy has earned the Shoreline School District the reputation of being a leader in education technology access and assisting learners at every level.

Ms. Betnel said, "We are so fortunate to have this levy so that our students can learn with modern and ever-changing technology skills. Having access to devices and the many applications used across the district aids all our learners and prepares them for the future."

The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) membership percentage is one of the state's highest with an active group at every school.

"Both the communities of Shoreline and Lake Forest Park show how much they highly value education," said Marla Miller, Deputy Superintendent, Shoreline School District.

Proposition 1 - Renewal Levy for Educational Programs and Operations.

Prop.1 pays for over 20% of the district's general operating budget. For mandatory special education services, the levy renewal pays approximately 40%, which is the amount not paid by the state or federal government.

This renewal includes (taken from the Shoreline School website):
  • Special education staff and instructional programs, highly capable programs and academic support for students
  • Nurses, family advocates, librarians, and counselors
  • Building maintenance, utilities and transportation
  • Extra-curricular student activities, including music, drama and athletics
  • Professional development and all Time Responsibility and Incentive (TRI) compensation for teachers and staff
Proposition 2 renews the expiring Capital Levy for Technology Improvements and Support.
  • Student and staff computers and technology access
  • Software, online subscriptions, resources and classroom curriculum
  • Annual maintenance and licensing
  • Equipment upgrades and replacement
  • Staffing, professional development and training
  • Network servers and wireless infrastructure.
  • Email and website services for families, students, and staff.

For further levy renewal information: https://www.shorelineschools.org/domain/1334

It's not an easy job being a school board member tasked with juggling restrictive budgets. Rod Dembowski, King County City Council member, commented during a Best Start for Kids levy discussion in 2021. "Of all the public service jobs I witness, being a school board member is the hardest one you can do."
 
Director of District 1, Meghan Jernigan, offered her perspective as a community member "These are unusual and challenging times, and they have revealed how much we rely on our educational system for all that it provides our community. As we enter a new season for the district, with our replacement levies and an incredible superintendent, we have the opportunity to continue investing in our youth. And our commitment to our youth is part of what makes this community so special."

Historically, levy renewals in the Shoreline School District have voter support.

If you have any specific questions about either of the two levy renewals, you can contact Deputy Superintendent Marla Miller at: marla.miller@shorelineschools.org.

Ballots are due no later than 8pm on February 8th.

For people with disabilities, or if you're a senior over the age of 61, you can apply for a property tax reduction. Not everyone over 61 qualifies, but all eligible residents should check their status for this tax exemption program
