Drop off and Pick-up: Choose safety over convenience
We have very limited parking spaces around our school. We would encourage families to walk, bike or scooter whenever possible. You may even park a few blocks away and enjoy the walk to school.
The school parking lot is for staff working at Connaught. Please do NOT drop off or pick up your child in the parking lot.
If you choose to drive, please abide by the City of Calgary parking signs around our property. There are several school buses that pick up and drop off students on 13th Ave. Please respect the bus zone and do not park or stop in it.
We always try to be good Neighbours. Please help us by NOT blocking or parking in their driveways.
For students who ride the bus: Parents please sign up for MY Bus Stop App using the code CBE7D2XFQI to track the school bus. You can also check My School Bus Monitor for any delays.
Items from Home
Please leave all toys and valuables at home. We have lots of interesting learning materials at school for students to use throughout the day. We would ask that all toys and items that are important to your child be left at home to avoid them being lost or distracting from learning. Thank you for your support.
If your child accidentally comes home with something that is not theirs (toys, shoes, clothing, lunch kit) please let the teacher know by email and return it the next day. Many students have items that look similar and accidentally get mixed up. You can help by putting your child’s name on everything. We have a lost and found box on the main floor if you find your child missing anything.
Scent Free
We are a scent aware school. We have a staff member who is very allergic to perfumes, colognes and moth ball smells. Students and parents entering the building are asked not to wear any strong scents. Thank you.
