​​​​​​​​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.

If you are driving your child to or from school we ask that you use the street closest to the school or the parking lot across the street from the school. For safety reasons, the school parking lot is not to be used for dropping off or picking up children. 

The children have been asked to walk around the staff parking lot as opposed to walking through it. If you are dropping or picking up children from the front of the school, cross the street with the School Patrols. 

Reminders for Parents

  • The speed limit is 30 km per hour in our playground zone 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. seven days a week. 
  •  Parking too close to the crosswalk makes it difficult to see and stop oncoming traffic. Cars are required to park 5 m away from a marked crosswalk.
  • Turn your vehicles around in appropriate places and not in the middle of the street.
  • No jay walking – walk safely across the street and watch for traffic.
  • When crossing, listen and wait until the second whistle is blown, and a patroller tells you to “proceed”, before crossing the street.

School Patrols

The school patrols are operating at the crosswalk of Woodgreen Drive in front of the school.
The crossing times are as follows:

  • 8:15 – 8:30 a.m.
  • 3:15 – 3:30 p.m.
