Shoreline Middle School

Message from

Principal Ms. Martin & Assistant Principal Ms. Nix

Welcome to a new school year! We are excited to welcome our returning students and extend a special greeting to all the new families joining our Shoreline community for the first time. The first day of school is Thursday, August 7th, and whether your student is just beginning their middle school journey or entering their final year with us, we’re committed to making this year a memorable, engaging, and successful one.

At Shoreline Middle School, we believe in fostering a learning environment built on collaboration, curiosity, and connection. Our team of dedicated educators and staff work hard to ensure that every student feels safe, valued, and supported—both academically and socially.

This year, we’re continuing our focus on:

• Strong academics grounded in critical thinking, creativity, and real-world learning

• Social-emotional development through daily Advisory and community-building activities

• Equity and inclusion, making sure all students feel seen, heard, and celebrated

• Partnership with families, because we know that education works best when schools and families work together

We also have exciting events and opportunities lined up throughout the year—from fun spirit days and after-school clubs to enrichment programs and family nights. Be sure to check our website regularly and track messages in Parent Square so you know ways to get involved.

We’re truly looking forward to a positive, productive, and joyful year ahead. Thank you for being part of our Shoreline Shiver (a group of sharks). Let’s make this our best year yet!

Warmly,

Colleen Martin & Melissa Nix
