​​​​​​​​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 and Pick-Up

The safety of our students is the most important thing at our school. Please help us keep everyone safe by following these rules:

  • Staff Parking Lot : We want to set a good example for our children by not standing or walking through the parking lot. The school parking lot is for staff only. Parents should not drive or park in the parking lot.
  • Use Crosswalks: Always use the crosswalks to cross the street and the parking lot. This keeps everyone safe. As well as the crosswalk in our parking lot.
  • No Illegal U-Turns: Please do not make U-turns or park in areas where it is not allowed. It is very dangerous for our students.
  • Best Place to Park: We recommend parking on Hunterslea Crescent (see below) on the north side of the school. There is lots of parking there, and it is only a short, safe walk through the school field

Parking

Thank you for helping us keep our children safe every day! 

If your child normally takes the bus but you are picking up, please contact the school and make sure to sign your child out on the sign out board outside the office so your child is accounted for on the bus attendance list. This helps our buses leave the school on time.

Supervision for students will be provided until 4:00pm. 

Parking Lot is a No-Go Zone

Walking through the parking lot is not permitted, even if children are accompanied by an adult. Please walk on the sidewalks at all times for safety! 

Respect the Bus Zone

As we are largely a bused school, the bus loading zone in front of the school is a No Stopping & a No Parking zone. If you choose to park across from the school buses, it is recommended that you escort your child across the road safely using the crosswalks. Under no circumstances should a child be crossing in between the buses with, or without an adult. This is not only highly dangerous, it is also against the law.
