Shoreline has begun the process of sunsetting the Early Childhood Education (ECE) program. As of spring quarter 2021, the ECE program will no longer accept any new students, however ECE courses will be offered in the spring, based on current student needs.
After spring 2021, students in the ECE program will be provided with options for completing their degrees and certificates. The College will make every effort to ensure they are able to complete their studies in the same amount of time, in the same modality (online), and for the same cost as originally planned.
If you are a student currently enrolled in the ECE program as of winter 2021, you will receive a more detailed email by February 15, in which you will be invited to work with an advisor to determine the next steps in your educational plan.
Thank you for your patience as we undertake this process. Please know the College is committed to providing ECE students with every resource available to ensure their educational and career success. If you have questions about this process, please contact Brigid Nulty, Acting Associate Dean of Business, Communication Studies, and Social Sciences (bnulty@shoreline.edu).

Dear Student,
On Monday, we pause to join our nation in honoring the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As we celebrate and reflect on this day, it is an appropriate time for us to remember the way he called each of us to engage with each other and our communities by asking, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?'”
I hope you are able to find some creative, socially distanced ways to speak, to serve, and to connect with others in ways that lift them up, in honor of his unbending dedication to making the world a more just place.
Gratefully,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.

With continued elevated rates of COVID-19 in our region, I am announcing two important updates for our community regarding our current pause in attendance on campus and our plans for spring quarter.
Extending the Temporary Pause in Campus Attendance
The College will extend the temporary pause in on-campus attendance announced last month through January 31. We ask that employees and students refrain from coming to campus during this period to help reduce the spread of the virus after the winter holidays. Limited instructional programs approved to start earlier may continue to meet on campus as needed, and the curbside pickup/drop-off service will remain in operation for students and employees.
Based on current health data and the anticipated time for widespread vaccinations to take place, the College will continue remote learning and operations through spring quarter (ending June 18, 2021).
For spring, we will offer primarily online, asynchronous courses, with limited exceptions for face-to-face learning in pre-approved programs. While we are eager to return to campus in greater numbers, the safest choice for students, employees, and the community at this time is to limit as much in-person gathering as possible. Despite the challenges of remote learning during a pandemic, I want to say I am so proud of you for continuing to focus on your studies! Our faculty and staff remain committed to supporting you virtually.
Updates to Public Health Guidance
Governor Inslee recently updated the Healthy Washington recovery plan to restart the state in Phase 1. We continue to ask everyone in our community to keep up the excellent work of wearing masks, staying 6-feet apart, avoiding crowds, and washing hands frequently. As COVID-19 vaccines begin to become more available in our region, there is a phased plan for vaccinations, starting with those at highest risk. You can learn more about this plan on Public Health Seattle & King County’s website.
In this new year, while we face many challenges, we also have overcome much and can celebrate the resilient community we call Shoreline. I look forward to seeing all that we will accomplish together, even as we remain apart.

Dear Student,
Yesterday, we witnessed acts that many have described as an insurrection and an assault against our democracy in Washington, DC. Shoreline Community College joins other colleges and universities and the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges in denouncing the anti-democratic actions of the rioters who sieged the Capitol building. Education is foundational to the ideals of democracy and these violent events attacked the sanctity of our democratic process and the peaceful transition of power in our government.
As a community of critical thinkers, we also need to be mindful of the inequities in how those who breached the Capitol yesterday were treated by law enforcement compared to how protesters who peacefully advocate for racial justice in the Black Lives Matter movement are treated. I hope we remain mindful of the language that we and others use to describe and make sense of these events, choosing words that affirm our country’s democratic foundation and our fundamental rights of equal treatment under the law.
In these uncertain and stressful times, please remember that any students in need of mental or emotional support are encouraged to reach out to our Counseling Center (206-546-4594) for assistance.
Respectfully,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
