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.

Before and After School Expectations
Supervision begins at 8:15 each morning inside the school. There is no supervision outdoors before school.
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.
Suggested Drop-Off and Pick-Up Areas
TMC is a very busy place, especially at bell times with students being dropped off or picked up. These areas can become quite congested with vehicles and daunting for pedestrians. Please refer to the attached Suggested Drop Off/Pick Up Areas document that details suggested areas for pick up and drop off, cross walks as well as areas where no stopping and/or U-turns are allowed. Thank you for your efforts in ensuring these times and areas are as safe as possible for our students.
