​​​​​​​​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.

Sunnyside School Parking Lot is reserved for Staff Use from 7:00am to 6:00pm.      

Please Do Not Park in the following areas:

  • Bus parking at the front of the school
  • Private driveways on the south side of the school            

Visitor Parking

Due to an increase in the number of staff at the school who use our parking lot, we no longer have enough space for visitor parking. Please refrain from using the staff parking lot during drop-off and pick-up as well as throughout the day as all spots are now designated. We do have two hour parking on 7th Street available directly in front of the school for your convenience.  

Before & After School Supervision

Teachers provide outside supervision at 8:25am. Please do not send children to school earlier than this. The dismissal time for the end of the day is 3:30pm. We ask that children leave the school and playground promptly, as there is no school supervision of students after 3:30pm. 

Parents are required to take full responsibility for their children at the end of the school day; children who remain on the school playground must be supervised by a parent/adult. Please ensure that while you are supervising your child on the playground that the school safety rules and expectations are both respected and followed.
