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 Drop-Off
Street signage has not yet been completed. We have made a number of inquiries and are waiting for response. Please be aware that the street directly in front of the school is a main bus route for CTS, a main road for the neighborhood, and where the school buses for MHS will be dropping off and picking up students.
Staff Parking Lot is Off Limits
The staff parking lot is not intended for student pick up or drop off. Please help us keep everyone safe by keeping out of the parking lot at peak times and using the side streets for drop off and pick up.
Pedestrians Take Care
Please speak to your children about their need for vigilance when crossing the roads around the school. The neighbors have not had to watch out for student traffic, and it will take everyone being more cautious to ensure that everyone remains safe.
