Traffic Safety Update
This week, we were happy to see Bylaw Officers monitoring traffic safety before and after school. We have also put in a request for the Traffic Unit of the Calgary Police Service to help us teach drivers the rules.
Please remember to not park in the bus zones or "hug and go" areas and that U-turns are no allowed in Playground Zones. For more information about traffic safety, please see this page on our website: Traffic
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe traveling to and from school!
Early Pick Ups
If you are planning to pick your child up early for any reason, please call the school office at 403-777-8670, extension 0. We will do our best to make sure your child is ready on time.
Late Pick Ups After School
Please remember that there is no child care after school. Students must be picked up at 10:50AM after morning kindergarten, at 2:30PM Monday to Thursday and 12:00PM on Fridays.
