​​​​​​​​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

Other Modes of Commuting to School

Some parents drop off and pick up their children in personally-owned vehicles.  We request that all City of Calgary bylaws by respected, in order to ensure that student pedestrians remain safe and that neighbor driveways and alleyways remain unblocked.  The Calgary Parking Authority and Calgary Police Service have recently increased their presence in school zones and will ticket any infractions, including the 30 km/hour school zone speed limit.  

Note the CBE signage at the entry to the staff parking lot that prohibits any parent parking or the drop-off or pick up of students. 

Students who commute to school independently are encouraged to find active and earth-friendly modes such as walking, skateboarding, longboarding, rollerblading or cycling. These activities are only permitted while commuting to school and are not permitted while on school property.  The use of helmets for all users under the age of 18 is a legal requirement. Skateboards and longboards and bicycles must be securely locked in the designated locking systems of the courtyard. The school is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
