Safety and Security
The safety and security of our students is our number one priority. The front door will continue to be locked during regular school hours, and all visitors to the school will need to buzz in and identify themselves before gaining entry to the building. 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. Pick- up Procedures Students will always be at their designated doors unless they are on the bus. If your child is not taking the bus, or there is a change in their normal routine, please CALL the office at 403-777-8390. The pick up area will be the office if the student is NOT following their normal routine. No student who is not registered on the bus will be allowed to board a bus. Please make note of this when you are arranging playdates etc. Parking Lot Please remember the parking lot is reserved for staff. We do not have enough space for parents to pick up and drop off in the staff parking lot. Use street parking following all City of Calgary signs. When at all possible, we discourage pedestrians from walking through the parking lot as there are staff members and School Board personnel arriving and leaving throughout the day, making it unsafe for pedestrians. Please use sidewalks and pathways around the school. Pedestrian Safety Did you know that according to the City of Calgary Police Service, a vehicle strikes a pedestrian, on average, once every day on our streets. Please help teach your child that motorists will not necessarily stop for pedestrians when they are crossing the road, even if they have the right of way. Motorists must stop for all pedetrians-it is the law. Wait until the pedestrian has cleared the intersection before proceeding and when other vehicles are slowing down or stopping near a crosswalk, slow down and look for pedestrians as well. Bicycles Should students ride their bikes to school, please ensure they have a good lock for their bike. There are bicycle racks on the side of the school to use for locking bikes. Students must walk their bikes on the school grounds. The school cannot assume responsibility for bicycles parked on the school grounds.
