Student Drop Off and Pick Up

Each school in Shoreline School District has one or more designated zones for students to be dropped off and to be picked up.

It's important that all drivers follow the school's instructions. Dropping off and picking up in the right spot helps ensure:

  • Student safety
  • Efficiency for drivers
  • Supervision of students by staff and/or student safety patrol assistance
  • Maneuverability for buses that can weigh up to 18 tons and be up to 40 feet long
  • Access for buses that operate specialized equipment such as wheelchair lifts

While there may be parking lots or lanes that look empty and it's tempting to pull in and let a student out, doing so can delay access for students who need this space to access the building safely, and it could lead to your car and others' being blocked in by school buses.

Please, for the safety of students, drivers, and pedestrians, do not drop off or pick up students at the side of the road near the school. This is unsafe and can back up traffic for others who are trying to smoothly get to and from the designated pick-up and drop-off zones.

Edwin Pratt Early Learning Center

Please follow these instructions when dropping off or picking up your children from Edwin Pratt:

  • Walk, ride bikes, and take scooters only on sidewalks and use marked crosswalks
  • Do not walk, ride, or scoot in the road, in the bus loop, or where cars drive in the parking lot
  • Park in marked spots in our parking lot or at the Meridian Park ball fields
    • When walking up from the Meridian Park lot, please use sidewalks and crosswalks (do not walk through the bus loop, marked below)
  • Do not park in the bus loop. This can make leaving and entering your vehicles dangerous with 18-ton buses driving through, and it can impede the buses and make them late in picking up and dropping off students.
