Students in the Calgary Board of Education travel to school in a variety of ways, including walking, taking yellow buses or Calgary Transit or being driven by parents/guardians. Their safety is important, no matter how they get to school and home again.
Riding Bikes and Scooters to School
Students may ride their bicycles or scooters to school but must walk them once they are on school grounds. Students must also be aware of the rules of bicycle and scooter safety, including the mandatory use of helmets. Locks are required for each bike or scooter and students must use the bike racks to securely stow their property.
Consideration for other pedestrians is expected when students are on school property. Therefore, students must walk on the sidewalks and may not use/ride equipment such as rollerblades, skateboards, scooters, and bicycles on school property.
The school is not responsible for the security of such equipment on our playground. In the spirit of encouraging active living and reducing car rides to school, we are happy to accommodate these ways of getting to school.
