Traffic Safety
Ensuring our students get to school safely is everyone’s responsibility. Please be mindful of crosswalks, parking rules and speed limits when you are near our schools, especially during the morning drop-off and afternoon dismissal times.
Traffic Safety Reminders from The City of Calgary
The City wants to remind and encourage anyone who is driving children to school to operate their vehicles safely and responsibly. Parents and guardians are reminded not to park where it’s prohibited during drop off and pick up times, such as blocking crosswalks, laneways and private driveways.
Pick up and drop off times can get quite busy. Give yourself extra time to navigate safely around schools, whether you are walking, wheeling, or driving. For those who drive, help alleviate congestion by parking a block or two away and walking in, wherever possible.
Talk to your kids about safe travel practices like using crosswalks with patrols, looking all ways before crossing the street and not jaywalking across the roadways as a shortcut.

Parking
We would ask that parents dropping off and picking up students please be aware of the bus zone in front of the school. This is especially important during drop off in the morning and pick up in the afternoon. A reminder that the school parking lot is not to be used for drop off or pick up as it is a safety concern for students. Please also be aware of how long vehicles are idling in front of the school during the upcoming winter months as there are air intakes for the building located in front of the school. We thank you for your cooperation in keeping our students safe!
