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.
Learn more by visiting Calgary.ca/BeSafe.
We encourage you not to “idle” your vehicle while parked around the school. Parking in designated zones and reducing the toxic fumes of idling will greatly enhance the safety and well being of everyone accessing Capitol Hill School.
Our parking lot is designated for our staff only. Staff also park in the lot next to our waste bins. Please allow enough space for staff cars to enter both of our lots. For safety, students must not walk through the parking lots.
Please be familiar with the area and traffic zone map below. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and contributes much to the overall safety of all students and each other.
After School Pick Up
