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.

Parking at the School
While we understand the inconvenience of the parking availability around Jennie Elliott, we ask families to please adhere to all parking and traffic laws for everyone’s safety, out of respect for our neighbours, and to set a good example for our students.
Please see the parking map for the parking zones around the school.
Lakeview United Church Parking
Our gracious neighbours at the Lakeview United Church have also requested that parents only use their parking lot for drop-off and pick-up with a 15-minute time limit. They often have events during the day and priority for parking must go to their patrons.
We are an Idle-Free Zone
We encourage all of our families to treat the area around the school as an Idle Free Zone. The combined emissions released from idling cars can be quite high, so we encourage parking and shutting off your vehicle until your child arrives. Thank you for your co-operation.
