Visitor Sign-In Mandatory
We keep our school a safe place! We ask all visitors to enter by the front door, check-in and out of the office, and wear a tag issued by the office while in the school. All doors are locked when school is in session. These procedures are for the safety and security of all students at the school.
Entry & Exit Procedures
Students are to enter and leave the building at their designated doors and carry boots and outdoor shoes to and from their classroom. Please remove hats when entering the building. Decide on a common outside meeting spot for family and friends.
Supervision
The school provides playground supervision at recess, lunch and 15 minutes prior to entrance time. Students are not to arrive at school before these times unless supervised by an adult. Unless students are taking part in a school-supervised activity they are asked to go home at the dismissal bell. See more on school hours.
Dropping Off Items For Students
If you need to bring something to school for your child during the day (i.e. forgotten items such as lunch or class projects), please drop it off at the office and we will make sure that your child receives it.
Meeting Areas
After school, children should meet their “walking groups” at a place outside the school and are encouraged to go home first before making play arrangements.
Court Orders
Some families go through changes in their living arrangements. In the case of a divorce, we need a copy of supporting legal documents on file at the school that outlines the legal rights of the parties. Please be sure to inform the school if there is a restraining order.
School Closures
In the rare instance that a school must be closed, parents will be advised through radio reports, the CBE website and our school website. To ensure you don't miss out on any school email messages subscribe today.
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 at select schools to support maintaining a safe and secure environment and to help control vandalism and criminal activity on school property.
Personal information gathered by video surveillance is collected under the authority of the Education Act and the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIP) section 33(b). The users of this information are the principal or designate and law enforcement personnel in the case of reported incidents that would require an investigation. Only authorized persons will review video surveillance information.
This technology 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.
