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.

Pick-up and Drop-Off Safety
For the safety of all students, please do not use the school parking lot for drop-off or pick-up. With the high volume of students and vehicles, this creates a significant safety risk. Please do not park in the designated bus zones at the front of the school at any time.
Instead, we encourage families to find parking in the community or use the designated “Drop and Drive” zone on the South side of the school, which helps reduce congestion and promotes student independence.
