​March is here! In terms of school, it is a short month of only fourteen instructional days leading into Spring Break. Spring Break begins on Friday, 20 March 2020. Classes resume on Monday, 06 April 2020.
Over the last few weeks, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of “near misses” involving vehicles and students. The primary issues are drivers failing to follow traffic rules and cars parking or stopping when it unsafe to do so. As a result, students face the risk of accident and injury. The Calgary Police Service and the Calgary Parking Authority have been made aware of these concerns and will more actively patrol the school area.

Stopping to drop students off in the parking lots and in front of the school continue to be concerning issues. Please do not drive into the parking lots to drop students off – the parking lot layout and staff arriving in the morning make these unsafe drop off points. Calgary Police Service continues to monitor the road in from of the school. Please remember that Martindale Blvd in front of the school is a NO STOPPING zone except for school buses. The police have ticketed and will continue to ticket offending drivers.

Spring Break marks the transition into the last third of the school year. It is not the time to ease up or give up on learning. Over the Break, encourage your child or children to read, to watch the news and engage in discussion about world activities. I hope all students will use this time to relax and return refreshed and ready to finish the last three months of the 2019-2020 school year!​
