​​​​​​​​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

Drop-Off & Pick-Up of Students

The Calgary Police Service and Calgary Parking Authority have been at the school to reinforce safe practices when dropping off and picking up children at the school. Our school has the following in place to keep your children safe:

  • School doors open at 7:45 AM. Please do not drop your child off prior to 7:45 AM as teacher supervision runs from 7:45 AM to 8:00 AM.
  • Between 7:45 AM and 8:00 AM students may enter the building through any door.  At 8:00 AM all doors, except the main office, are locked. If your child arrives at school after 8:00 AM, please accompany them to the main office. 
  • At the end of the day students are dismissed at their designated door. If you arrive late please pick up your child at the back of the school (entrance door off of school compound).
  • Please obey all road signs when dropping off, picking up students or visiting the school. 
  • We thank all of our parents, students and teachers for helping us keep our students safe throughout the year!
