As you know our school practices fire drills several times during the year to ensure that students and staff know what to do in case of a real fire. Another safety proceduris an "off-site evacuation". Our site is Renfrew Education Center- 2050, 21 street NE. Please read the notice sent home on Monday, May 25th, 2015 for more details.

Top Tips

  • Talk to your kids about how to be safe while walking. It’s always best to walk on sidewalks or paths and cross at street corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks.
  • Teach kids at an early age to look left, right and left again when crossing the street.
  • Children under 10 should cross the street with an adult. Every child is different, but developmentally, it can be hard for kids to judge speed and distance of  cars until age 10.
  • Remind kids to make eye contact with drivers before crossing the street and to watch out for cars that are turning or backing up.
