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.

Loading Zones
The front and side of the school is reserved for buses at pick-up and drop-off times; however, there is a loading zone designated on the east side of the school. For everyone's safety, please do not park in bus loading zones or cross illegally from the other side of the street across 9th Avenue.
Parking Lot is Off Limits
PFS and Colonel Walker School share one parking lot. All parking spots in the parking lot are reserved for school staff.
For the safety of students, park outside of the school parking lot and refrain from dropping students off in the parking lot.
