​​​​​​​​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 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 & Drop-Off

Hug & Go Zone

Please drop your children off on the school side of Evanscove Circle anywhere in front of the school which is a “Hug & Go” zone from 7:15– 8:15. Parents, please DO NOT drop off or pick up your child(ren) in the parking lot. Extra cars in the parking lot result in a very dangerous situation for our students. Please always cross at the corner; and never be-tween busses (choose safety over convenience).

For your child’s safety and for your convenience – we have a dedicated ‘Hug & Go!’ area adjacent to the grass field on Evanscove Circle – sidewalk closest to the school only! This allows you to pull up, say a quick good-bye to your child, have them leave the passenger side of your vehicle and drive away (slowly). Please do not wait in this zone after your child exits your vehicle. Parking is never allowed on this side of the street from 7:15 – 8:15 Monday through Friday.

When parking, please, never park in front of a driveway – it’s against the law! (The City of Calgary By-law demands that a 1.5m clearance must be observed on either side of a driveway).

When visiting the school please do not park in parking lot! These spots are all assigned staff parking. Occasionally, you may see a vacant spot; however, it is assigned to a CBE staff member. Please park on the street adjacent to the school, and use the crosswalk. Thank you for your cooperation.
