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 Lots
Our parking lots are for staff only. CBE policy prohibits the loading or unloading of children in parking lots due to safety concerns. Please do not enter the parking lot to drop off or pick up your child. Also, staff who work part-time need to find their assigned places vacant when they arrive at school. Thank you for your consideration.
Parking in the Bus Zone / No Stopping
Bus Phone Line: 403-777-6290 ext. 4
Please leave a message on our dedicated bus line by 2:00 PM if your child will not be riding the bus home.
There are many buses transporting students to Mayland Heights School this year. It is important to note that parents who are driving their children to and from school should not park in the bus zone. This will help to ensure our student’s safety.
Use our Drop-Off Zone
This year we have a drop off zone right before the bus zone for those parents who wish to drive and drop off their child in front of the school. This is just a drop zone where parents can drop their children. Please do not park your car in the drop
off zone, this would be a huge inconvenience to other parents who wish to drop off their children.
Just a reminder that School Zones now run from 7:30AM-9:30 PM.
