School Access

To maximize the safety and security of all students, the outside doors are locked at all times (except during morning entry). The front doors to the school have a security button and intercom to gain entry to the building. Once admitted, the person must sign in at the office.

Visitors & Volunteers Sign-in

All parents, visitors and volunteers must report directly to the office and receive a Visitor ID Card before proceeding to other areas of the school. This is an additional security measure to keep our school safe. Please note that, under no circumstances, can a visitor (including parents) go to the classrooms without checking in to the office first.

Picking Your Child Up

A sign-out book is kept inside the two front doors of the main entrance. Parents can call the office to let us know of the necessity to pick up their child early. Students can only be picked up by parents or parent-authorized persons. Please contact the office to change or review approved pick-up people for your child. Please help us to be aware of any custody agreements that may dictate who your child is permitted to leave the school with. Copies of these documents should be given to the secretary. 

At dismissal, students can be picked up at their designated areas.

After School Supervision

Please be reminded that students must leave the school field and playground after school and go home unless they have direct parent supervision. School staff members are not available to supervise outside after school.  We are glad to keep kids safe in the office until parents arrive. If you have made an arrangement for another parent to supervise your child after school, please send a signed note to the office so we can ensure that they are put in the hands of their designated adult.

School Access

To support a safe and secure learning environment, exterior doors are locked during class hours. Aligned with Administrative Regulation 1029 (Operation of Schools – Safety and Security)

Students arriving after morning entry, visitors and family members should use our school's main entrance and request access through the intercom system.

Our school is a closed campus. All visitors and volunteers must report directly to the main office to sign in. Students should not invite friends to visit the school.

These practices help us:

  • Know who is in the building during the school day.
  • Prevent unauthorized access to the school.
  • Minimize disruptions to teaching and learning.

Individuals found on school property who do not have legitimate business with the school and who have not registered in the main office may be charged with trespassing while on school property.

For questions about access procedures, please contact the school office.

​Lockdowns

All CBE schools are required to practice lockdowns in the same way that we practice fire drills. The procedures for lockdowns are developed with the Calgary Police Service and are part of each school’s Emergency Response Plan. If you have questions about lockdown drills or lockdown procedures, please contact your principal.

Evacuation Procedures

In the event that the school needs to be evacuated for any reason, all staff have been trained according to CBE standards. All schools have a primary and a secondary evacuation site. In the event of an evacuation, you will receive an email, phone or SMS notification from the school.

Video Surveillance Technology

The Calgary Board of Education may install and use video surveillance technology where it enhances safety of students, staff, or others, or deters damage to CBE property or assets; where circumstances have shown that it is necessary for these purposes, and its benefits outweigh the impact on the privacy of those affected. Privacy law, specifically, the Protection of Privacy Act (POPA) and the Access to Information Act (ATIA) requires that CBE demonstrate that the proposed installation and use of video surveillance technology (VST) is necessary to resolve pressing and substantial business interests (based on evidence of verifiable and identifiable issues). VST is considered a complement to, and not a replacement for, CBE's strategies in supporting a welcoming, caring, safe, and respectful learning and work environment for students and staff. Approval, installation and use of video surveillance technology will comply with Administrative Regulation 1066​. 

For questions or concerns, please contact the school principal.
