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.

Student Drop Off
A large number of students at Valley Creek walk to school, however, if you're dropping off or picking up your child, we ask that you park along Hidden Valley Drive on the north side of the school or along the east side of the school along Hidden Ridge Close.
- Families may also use the designated drop off area in front of the school.
- Do not drop off or pick up children in the staff parking lot. Access to this lot is restricted to our buses, staff, and trade vehicles.
