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.

Student Parking
No students can be picked up or dropped off in our school parking lot. Parking and drop-off is on street only. We ask that parents do not park in our parking lot for drop-off or pick up as we have sites reserved for visitors only. To help manage traffic and keep our students safe, please consider dropping students off down the street from the school and having them walk the last block.
Crosswalk Usage
Our preferred pedestrian crossing is located at Panatella Blvd NW and Panamount St. NW where flashing beacon has been installed due to increasing safety and traffic concerns for pedestrians. We continue to work with students to be good citizens, encouraging them to use the crosswalk in groups rather than a steady stream of pedestrians that holds up traffic.
