​​​​​​​​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

The best way to ensure safety is to drop your child off prior to the entry bell at 8:30 AM, and to set an arranged pick-up place after school. Dismissal is at 3:00 PM Monday - Thursday and 12:30 PM on Fridays.

Drop-off and Pick-up

When driving or walking students to school, parents are urged to remind their children to enter via their designated doors. The same procedure exists for pick up at dismissal times. 

Please do not feel the need to drop your child off directly at the front of the school.

During regular weather days, we ask that parents consider having their students walk, bike, scooter, or skateboard to school. Avoiding traffic congestion goes a long way to avoiding congestion. If parents are biking to school with their child, please be aware that adults are also expected to follow our school rules of “walking the wheels” while on school property. This sets the right example for our students who know and follow this expectation.

Review our Personal Belongings page for more information on Bicycles, Scooters, Skateboards & Roller Blades.

Parking

Our buses will be dropping students off on the street in front of the school each morning and have priority in the marked areas. Parents, please pay attention to the marked areas as the parking authority frequents our bus area. In addition, our bus drivers may report your vehicle if parked in their designated area.

Please respect our community when dropping off students.
