Visitors & Volunteers
At Patrick Airlie School, we take student safety very seriously. Your children are our #1 priority. For the safety of our children, Patrick Airlie School is a closed campus during the school day. All parents, visitors and volunteers must enter only through the front door and sign in at the main office. Students go to their classes independently and say good-bye to their parents at the front door. This helps create independence in your child and protects the teaching time of the classroom. If parents would like to speak to your child’s teacher, they are asked to make an appointment so that your child’s teacher can dedicate their focus to you.
If you have any questions, please speak with either Mrs. Robinson or Mrs. McCuaig at the manin office. Learn more about how to Contact Us.
Lockdowns
All CBE schools are required to practice lockdowns in the same way that we practice fire drills. The procedures for lockdowns are developed with the Calgary Police Service and are part of each school’s Emergency Response Plan. If you have questions about lockdown drills or lockdown procedures, please contact your principal.
Evacuation Procedures
In the event that the school needs to be evacuated for any reason, all staff have been trained according to CBE standards. All schools have a primary and a secondary evacuation site. In the event of an evacuation, you will receive an email, phone or SMS notification from the school.
Video Surveillance Technology
The Calgary Board of Education may install and use video surveillance technology at select schools to support maintaining a safe and secure environment and to help control vandalism and criminal activity on school property.
Personal information gathered by video surveillance is collected under the authority of the Education Act and the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIP) section 33(b). The users of this information are the principal or designate and law enforcement personnel in the case of reported incidents that would require an investigation. Only authorized persons will review video surveillance information.
This technology is considered a complement to, and not a replacement for, CBE's strategies in supporting a welcoming, caring, safe, and respectful learning and work environment for students and staff.
Approval, installation and use of video surveillance technology will comply with Administrative Regulation 1066.
For questions or concerns, please contact the school principal.
