Safety in the School Zone

For the safety of all of our students and families, we ask that everyone respect the law in the school zone, this means not jaywalking, not doing u-turns and respecting the speed limit. If families witness poor driver and pedestrian behavior, please complete a Calgary Police Traffic Service Request. https://www.calgary.ca/cps/traffic/traffic-reporting.html

Dressing for the Weather

Please make sure that your child has the appropriate clothing for recess, lunch break, and / or community walks. The children go outside as long as the weather is warmer than -20 degrees.

Polar Bear Club

Even on days where the weather is colder than -20, those students who would like to will have the opportunity to bundle up warm and run around for a few minutes outside.
