💙 This Disability Awareness month, we celebrate the Shoreline Special Education PTSA!

Since 2013, this dedicated group of caregivers has been building community and advocating for equitable, inclusive education for all Shoreline students. Their mission? To build community within and between student groups, caregivers and staff, and to advocate for special education students and for equitable, inclusive education for all.

Through IEP support, guest speaker meetings, caregiver check-ins, and their Annual Outstanding Educators Awards, the Shoreline Special Education PTSA continues to grow connection, awareness, and collaboration across our school community.

2026-27 membership is open, and their first caregiver support meeting is coming up on October 21.

Thank you for everything you do to support Shoreline students and families! 💙

Last Thursday, Shorewood High School's ASB hosted a Club Fair during lunch to help students find their people and get involved on campus, and the turnout exceeded expectations! Over 50 clubs and interest groups showed up, spanning sports, community service, culture and heritage, and activism, giving students tons of ways to connect, explore new interests, and build community.

Student leaders reported going through multiple sign-up sheets as students lined up to join. A huge thank you to the leaders of ASB and all the clubs who made this event possible for our Stormrays! 💙💚

Please join us in celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month and expressing our appreciation for our Hispanic and Latinx students, staff, families, and community members!

Learn more about National Hispanic Heritage Month at: hispanicheritagemonth.gov

Each year, the United States observes National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15 by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Spain.

The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of the independence of: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18, respectively.

🎉 We made it through Day 1!

Grades 1–12 families — thank you for a great first day!

👋 Kindergarten families, we can't wait to welcome your little ones on Friday!
🧸 Preschool families, we'll see you Tuesday the 8th!

💡 A tip to help your child feel confident at lunchtime:
With just a few adults supervising many students, kids feel more comfortable (and get more time to eat and chat with friends!) when they can manage their own food independently.

Try practicing these at home:
🥤 Opening milk cartons or juice boxes
🍎 Peeling back lids on fruit cups or applesauce pouches
🥪 Opening and closing lunch containers or thermoses
🍿 Tearing open snack bags (and resealing them!)

A little practice goes a long way toward independent, stress-free lunches. Thanks for partnering with us!
