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.
Learn more by visiting Calgary.ca/BeSafe.
Parents are asked to follow safe traffic practices:
- The school parking lot is for staff members only.
- Teach your children to cross with the patrols.
- Instruct your child to exit the car on the side that is closest to the sidewalk.
- Do not make U-turns.
- Do not stop or park in the bus zone.
- During school hours, the gravel parking lot on the east side of the school is reserved for staff parking. Please refrain from dropping off children in this parking lot.
School Safety Patrols
Our school staff, with the assistance of the Calgary Police Service, supervises student safety patrollers who assist students crossing Martindale Boulevard where it intersects with Martin Crossing. Students are asked to walk bikes, scooters and skateboards across the street.
