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.

Our school buses require the full space in front of our school for drop off and pick up. Please have your parent drop off and pick up outside of our bus zone. We request that you please show consideration for our neighbours when your parent/guardian parks on the street, keeping corners and driveways clear.
We prefer students to be picked up and dropped off across the street from the school, the north side of the street, or past the mail boxes on the south side of the street (west of the mail boxes) in front of the school. If you need to be dropped off or picked up in the alleyway to the east or south of the school, make sure that you observe a speed that will reduce noise, dust and injuries.
