Shoreline Schools open the 2013-14 school year on Wednesday, Sept. 4 and the District is working closely with the Shoreline and Lake Forest Park Police Departments to keep students safe.
Shoreline Police will be doing traffic safety emphasis patrols around the schools as they open for classes. In Lake Forest Park, the traffic safety photo enforcement cameras near Brookside and Lake Forest Park elementary schools will be activated.
Remember the private schools as well - the two Catholic schools - St. Luke and St. Mark - two private Christian school - King's Schools on the Crista campus, and Shoreline Christian on 25th NE. Also the Evergreen School on Meridian.
A lot of our schools are walking schools, which means a large number of students on foot around the schools. Others will have major traffic congestion as parents figure out where to drop off the kids for school.
There have been efforts for years to add sidewalks around schools, but there are still a lot of dangerous paths to school. Do your part as a driver and be proactive about watching for kids.
