Dear Student,
As the Governor extends current statewide COVID-19 restrictions, the College will observe a two-week pause on any in-person attendance at the start of winter quarter (in addition to following our 14-day out-of-state travel quarantine procedure) to help reduce the spread of the virus in our local community.
This means students and employees who are authorized to come to campus for limited in-person activities will instead learn and work from home January 4-18, 2021.
Anyone who is an exception to this rule will be individually notified, and students living on campus will continue to follow distancing protocols in the residence hall. Our contactless curbside pick-up/drop-off service will continue at the start of winter quarter for equipment and materials.
The College has been fortunate to have had few reported positive cases of COVID-19 on campus. As a reminder, if we know a student or employee who has been on campus tests positive, we follow a contact tracing protocol to assess and notify individuals regarding potential exposure risk.
As fall quarter comes to a close, I hope you will consider the many creative and joyous ways to celebrate the winter holidays safely. It will take all of us to help reduce the transmission of the COVID-19 virus in our communities. Please continue to observe guidance about wearing masks, practicing handwashing, and minimizing any travel or in-person contact with anyone who does not reside in your household.
With best wishes for a healthy and happy holiday season,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

Dear Student,
As we usher in the winter holiday season, these are the times when we want to gather in person with friends and family. However, I want to reiterate the importance following the Governor’s directive to refrain from gathering in groups outside of those who are members of your household while COVID-19 rates continue to rise.
To keep our campus community as safe as possible, please note any Shoreline students or employees who travel out-of-state between December 1 – January 31 will be subject to a 14-day quarantine from campus.
This means if you are a student who is pre-authorized to come to campus for class and you travel outside-of-Washington in December or January, please plan to learn from home for 14 calendar days upon your return. You will also need to complete the Campus Access Form to acknowledge that you’ve travelled out of state. (Students who live in the residence hall and travel out of state will be asked to quarantine within their apartment.)
Unfortunately, COVID-19 transmission rates continue to increase in our local community and we must take these additional steps to ensure the safety of those who come to our physical campus. Thank you for doing your part to limit the spread of this virus.
Wishing you a great start to this time of gratitude.
With care,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

Dear Student,
As we progress through the remainder of fall quarter, I know many people may be feeling the ongoing stressors of the COVID-19 pandemic, racial injustice, economic uncertainty, and national political shifts. This has been a challenging season in many ways and yet, there is still so much for which we can be thankful. For me, I know I’m grateful for your resilience, strength, flexibility, and continued dedication to learning.
My hope is that you are able to find some rest and relief over this long weekend. While friends and families will not be physically gathering together in the same way this year due to the pandemic, I hope we can all find some new ways to celebrate, connect, reflect, and express our thanks for all that we do have.
With gratitude,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

Dear Student,
As COVID-19 cases continue to rise in Washington, Governor Inslee recently issued a new four-week restriction on group gatherings and certain businesses.
Status of Campus Operations
This guidance does not change the current operations or protocols at the College, as we follow the state’s Campus Reopening Guide for higher education. While our campus continues to operate remotely, we currently have 10 programs that offer some practical in-person coursework on campus, with appropriate safety protocols in place. We will continue to monitor the change in COVID-19 cases and alert the campus community of any potential changes to these on-campus programs.
Holiday Gatherings
Gov. Inslee’s latest guidance does provide some important recommendations about how to stay safe during the fall and winter holidays. Please remember, gathering in groups — even with people you know— may spread COVID-19. You may feel well and not have any symptoms, but you can still spread COVID-19 to others.
This holiday season, public health experts are urging all of us to “stay put” — to celebrate only with the people we already live with, whether that means staying at home or in the residence hall. This is especially important if, over the past two weeks, you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 or you have had symptoms such as a fever, cough, or shortness of breath. The Department of Health’s Safe Gatherings webpage offers helpful ideas on ways to celebrate safely and how to have conversations with friends and family about social events.
If you decide to host or attend a Thanksgiving celebration, public health experts ask that you:
- Celebrate outdoors
- Limit the guest list to no more than five people outside your household
- Keep social interactions as short as possible
- Consider quarantining from now to the celebration date, leaving your residence only for essential activities such as buying groceries or brief periods of outdoor exercise
- Wear a mask, stay six feet apart, wash your hands regularly, and consider taking your temperature before socializing with others
- If you have been around groups of people who may not have worn masks, health experts recommend getting a COVID-19 test
Free Drive-Through Flu Shots
It’s also not too late to get a flu vaccination this season! Flu vaccination is more important than ever to keep you from getting sick during the pandemic, and to help save important medical resources for COVID-19 patients. Find out how to make an appointment or check out these next drive-through dates:
I know these are stressful times for so many reasons, which can become even more pronounced during the holidays. If you are feeling sad, lonely, stressed or anxious, please know you can find support at the Counseling Center (206-546-4594).
Thank you for being so resilient and caring during these disruptive times. I wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy start to the holiday season.
With care,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
