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 to 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 Lot
Please remember the parking lot is reserved for staff. We do not have enough space for parents to pick up and drop off in the staff parking lot. Use street parking following all City of Calgary signs.When at all possible, we discourage pedestrians from walking through the parking lot as there are staff members and School Board personnel arriving and leaving throughout the day, making it unsafe for pedestrians. Please use sidewalks and pathways around the school.
Pedestrian Safety
Did you know that according to the City of Calgary Police Service, a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, on average, once every day on our streets. Please help teach your child that motorists will not necessarily stop for pedestrians when they are crossing the road, even if they have the right of way. Motorists must stop for all pedetrians-it is the law. Wait until the pedestrian has cleared the intersection before proceeding and when other vehicles are slowing down or stopping near a crosswalk, slow down and look for pedestrians as well.
Before and After School Care
Before and after school care will be provided onsite. Please visit our Getting to School page for more informaton.
