Campus Coronavirus Update as of March 18, 2020

Message from the President 

During unsettling times like these with rapidly changing circumstances, we want you to know you can count on Shoreline to provide you with information that will support not only students’ educational goals, but also the well-being of our students and employees 

Aour campus community completes winter quarter, whether teaching or learning, here are a few more resources to help you manage the uncertainty or sense of isolation you may be experiencing: 

Emotional and Mental Health Resources 

New Financial Relief Measures

  • Gov. Inslee announced today several financial relief measures for businessesworkers, renters, and those who may be struggling to pay utility bills while dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak 

Shared Leave for Employees 

I’m so grateful the Board of Trustees unanimously approved an emergency policy change on March 18 to allow College employees to donate leave to other employees who have exhausted their accrued paid leave but are in need of additional leave time. This will greatly assist employees who may be facing unanticipated medical, quarantine, or childcare needs that prevent them from being able to telework at this time. Employees will receive more information about this in the coming days. 

Spring Quarter Reminder 

Spring quarter will begin on Monday, April 6, and will be delivered fully online (with very limited exceptions). The first week of the quarter will be a prep week for everyone to get ready for online learning, with actual instruction starting April 13. More details about prep week training will be forthcoming. 

COVID-19 Web Page 

Our COVID-19 web page has been updated and reorganized to accommodate the changing information needs for the campus and the public. Please check the site regularly for continued updates. 

Respectfully, 

Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D. 

President
