​​​​​​​​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

Parking Near the School

Do not use Valley View’s School parking lots for drop off or pick up during school hours.

We are experiencing safety concerns in our parking lot for students walking behind parked cars and problems for support staff who begin their work day at different times of the day. Please do not park near the cross walk areas. It makes it very unsafe for the school patrol team and community members. Our school constable reminds us all that it is safety over convenience. 

Thank you to all parents and visitors for making safety a priority when it comes to driving and parking in and around the school.  

Patrols

The patrol team is our Grade 5 students. Thank you for making their jobs easier by following the crossing rules. Dismounting bikes and scooters in a crosswalk is required at all times. We also ask that you avoid talking with the team when they are on duty. Concentration and focus is very important in this role.
