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.

Staff Parking Lot is Off Limits
Parents are not permitted to enter the staff parking lot. Please follow posted signs. Use the roadway parallel to Sundance Lake Park. Our parking lot does not have sufficient space for staff so your understanding and cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Our bus zone on Sunmills Drive has to accommodate 5 buses. Please obey posted signs and help us to ensure a safe environment for all of our students. Consequences for ignoring these rules/posted signs have resulted in fines to parents issued by our schools’ resource officer (Calgary City Police Service).
Safety Patrols
Our senior students have the opportunity to become school patrollers. With commitment and hard work, their community service helps our school children cross Sunmills Drive at Sunvale Drive daily at 7:45, noon and after school. Please respect and follow their directions. It is the law and they are supported by the Calgary Police Service.
