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.

Drop-Off
Please note, the playground is not supervised before of after school.
When dropping student off, we ask families to observe traffic rules such as following the speed limits, parking in designated areas, no double parking, no u-turns and keeping a keen eye for pedestrians. Calgary Police officers often support with educating our community on safe traffic practices within the school zone.
When students arrive daily they remain outside at their designated grade doors. A staff member will be outside to supervise, beginning at 8:20am and students will enter the building at 8:28am in preparation for our 8:33am start.
Students who are late will enter through front doors after 8:33am. We will open doors early on inclement days (when the temps are below -20C).
Each grade will enter through their own designated doors.
Playground Doors - Grades K, 1, 2, 3 & 4
Parking Lot Doors - Grades 5 & 6
Students who take bikes and scooters to school may store them in the gym and must enter through the playground doors.
