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.

Hug ‘n’ Go Zones
For the safety of our students, the areas on the map below as Hug ‘n’ Go zones. This means:
- Pull up as far as you can (without going into the bus zone)
- Have your child get out of the car on the school side of the car (not the street side)
- Drive away and allow the next vehicle to drop off.
Note – please be aware that there is no stopping / parking within 5m of our 3 cross walks.
