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.

Fairmount Drive is a busy road. Use the crosswalks at all times and be aware of the traffic. Thank you for not jaywalking. Students obstructing or interfering with traffic may be charged / fined with ‘stunting’ by Calgary Police.
Calgary Parking Authority will also be patrolling the area around the school. If you are parked illegally then you may be ticketed. Tickets will be sent through the mail so there is no warning to drivers.
Visitor Parking
There is limited visitor parking behind the school. Please park in the stalls which indicate visitor parking or on side streets and enter through our front doors. Thank you for not jaywalking.
