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.

Battalion Park
Assist us in providing a safe environment for students as they come to and go from school each day. The parking lot, located between the two school buildings, is strictly out of bounds for all students and parents from 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM. Due to the extreme traffic pressures on the boulevard, and in particular, during the arrival and dismissal times, we urge all parents to use legal street parking or the community center parking lot located north of the core school. A reminder that the curb space along the front of our entire school campus is reserved at all times for school buses.
