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.

Parking
Staff at Huntington Hills School pay to park in our parking lot and have their spot assigned to them for the year.
Visitor
Visitor parking is indicated by the signs on the east side of our parking lot. Our lot is often at capacity through the day, and a great alternative is to park above the creative playground on Huntercrest Road north of the Esso Station.
Dropping Off Students
Please help us keep your children safe by dropping your child off on the sidewalk of Huntercrest Road north of the Esso Station above our creative playground.
An alternate drop-off location is on 68th Avenue west of the McDonald’s and 7-11 corner. This street is very quiet and connects to the City of Calgary pathway that leads to the Northeast corner of our playground. Both locations allow students to come directly to the playground without worrying about traffic.
The school parking lot is very busy on school days with delivery trucks, visitors and staff all trying to get to a parking spot. CBE safety protocols ask that no student be dropped off or expected to walk across the school parking lot.
What Do the Different Bell Rings Mean?
Visit our Security page to learn more about what do when there are three bell rings, continues ringing or there are no students or staff outside.
Back Doors for Students/Staff Only
CBE requires all visitors to the school to check-in at the office. Please help us ensure the safety of all our students and staff by following this rule! Visit our Security page for more detailed information.
