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.

Drop-Off Area
- Drop off your child in the designated drop-off zone only located on Falshire Drive N.E. between the community centre and school driveway entrances.
- Avoid parking at the Falconridge-Castleridge Community Association
- Avoid the bus zone (south side of Falshire, to the east of the school)
Supervision
Supervision begins at 8:50 am each morning inside the school. There is no supervision outdoors before school. Your child should not arrive on school grounds earlier than 8:45 am.
Students who are coming early in the morning for study purposes, team practices, or extra-curricular activities should enter the school through the front doors and proceed directly to the appropriate area where they will be under the direction and supervision of the teacher involved in the activity.
