πŸŽ‰ We made it through Day 1!

Grades 1–12 families β€” thank you for a great first day!

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

πŸ’‘ 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:
πŸ₯€ Opening milk cartons or juice boxes
🍎 Peeling back lids on fruit cups or applesauce pouches
πŸ₯ͺ 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!

That back-to-school buzz is in the air and across our school buildings. It's just one more sleep until students are back at school for the year!

Student leaders, teachers, and staff have been hard at work decorating the hallways and helping support new students at our middle and high schools.

Make sure to use the hashtag in your photos, no matter your student's age! The bigs, the littles. The smiles, the shrugs. The fresh kicks and the favorite tees.

We're here for it all, so snap, share, and tag .

Let's celebrate the start of an amazing school year together! πŸŽ’

Part 4 of All About That Bus: Drop-Off & Pick-Up, Done Right 🚸

Even if you child isn't a bus rider, you can play a part in keeping schools safe for riders, walkers, and drivers! Every school in our district has designated zones for student drop-off and pick-up, and where you park (or don't) makes a real difference.

Sticking to the designated zones helps ensure:
βœ… Student safety
βœ… Smooth, efficient traffic flow for everyone
βœ… Staff and safety patrol supervision
βœ… Room for buses (up to 40 feet long!) to maneuver
βœ… Access for buses with wheelchair lifts and other specialized equipment

We know that empty-looking parking lot or lane can be tempting, but pulling in outside the designated zone can block access for students who need it most, and it can even leave cars boxed in by buses.

For everyone's safety, please avoid dropping off or picking up on the side of the road near school. It backs up traffic and creates unsafe conditions for students, drivers, and pedestrians alike.

Thanks for helping us keep the flow safe and smooth for every Shoreline student! 🚏

Part 3 of All About That Bus: Drivers, Do You Know When to Stop?

When a school bus has its stop bar out or lights flashing, it means kids are getting on or off, and knowing when to stop (and when it's safe to proceed with caution) keeps everyone safe. Here's how it breaks down:

πŸ›‘ 2-lane roadway: Traffic in BOTH directions must stop.

πŸ›‘ 3+ lane roadway: Stop if you're traveling in the same direction as the bus. Traffic going the opposite direction may proceed with caution.

πŸ›‘ Turning lane: Stop if you're traveling in the same direction as the bus. Opposite-direction traffic in a turning lane may proceed with caution.

πŸ›‘ Roadway with a median: Stop if you're traveling in the same direction as the bus. Traffic on the other side of the median may proceed with caution.

πŸ’΅ A reminder for every driver: violating school bus stopping laws in WA State can mean a fine of $500.

When in doubt, stop and wait for the bus's lights to stop flashing and the stop bar to fold away, that's your sign it's safe to go. Every stop protects a student getting safely to or from school. πŸ’›

Part 2 of All About That Bus: Play It S.A.F.E. πŸ›‘

Those big yellow buses can weigh up to 18 tons, and not every driver on the road gives them the space they deserve. So before the wheels start rolling, let's review how to play it S.A.F.E.:

S β€” Stay back at least 10 feet (about 5 giant steps) from the curb while you wait.

A β€” Always wait for the bus to come to a complete stop and for the driver to signal it's OK to board.

F β€” Face forward once you're seated. No turning around!

E β€” Exit only after the bus has stopped completely and always cross in front of the bus, only when the driver signals it's safe.

Grown-ups, practice it with your rider this week, it's a quick conversation that keeps everyone safe all year long. πŸ’›

In honor of school buses rolling through the district on Tuesday, today we're all about that bus ('bout that bus).

Part 1: Bus Riding Need-to-Knows

Here's what every rider (and family) needs to know before that first pickup:

πŸ• Double-check your bus info on Monday, the day before school starts. Pick-up and drop-off times can shift slightly as we get closer to day one, so make sure you've got the latest details.

⏰ Be at your assigned stop 5 minutes early. The bus won't wait, so a few minutes of buffer makes all the difference.

🚏 Ride your assigned route only. Students are assigned a stop based on their home address, so that's the one to use every day.

πŸ‘‹ Kindergarten families: a parent, guardian, or authorized adult must be present at drop-off. No exceptions for those littlest bus riders!

Thanks to a renewed focus on our Strategic Plan, Envision Shoreline's ambitious reading goals, K-5 summer school had a whole new look this year. Small groups of 2-5 students received daily, targeted reading support from a certificated teacher, all within four weeks of four-day summer school.

Summer school principal Andy Kidd partnered with district reading specialist Rachel Trudelle to reimagine the program from the ground up: a redesigned schedule, new science-of-reading materials, and teachers hired for both literacy intervention and general classroom time, this time with a consistent, renewed focus on art.

That general ed time became what students and staff called "the Art Academy." Students explored a wide range of media, from oil pastels to collage, creating self-portraits, soft sculptures, model magic pieces, and large-scale class trees, all inspired by a featured artist each day, including Romare Bearden, Yayoi Kusama, Frida Kahlo, Takashi Murakami, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Faith Ringgold. The program closed with a student art exhibit celebrating their work.

While formal assessment scores aren't back yet, teachers and staff report real gains, some big "aha" moments in reading, and skills in both literacy and art that will carry students well beyond summer!

While students are enjoying the last days of Summer Break, our staff have been hard at work getting ready to open classroom doors on September 1! 🍎

Our transportation department, equity leads, district and school administrators, teachers of all grades and subjects, office professionals, and more have been meeting, planning, and learning together to get ready for the year ahead. Even Einstein Middle School's mascot Roary 🐯 got in on the action!

Some of our back-to-school professional development focused on preparing elementary teachers for our new K-5 English Language Arts curriculum, designed to help every learner access what they need to do their best and to meet the ambitious literacy goals set out in our strategic plan, Envision Shoreline.

So much happens behind the scenes before that first bell rings, Thank you to everyone who is putting in the time and care to make sure our students have a great start to the school year!
