Parking Lot Reminders
To help facilitate drop-off and pick-up, and keep our community safe, we ask that you please review the guidelines below:
- Once you enter the parking lot, please park your car in the angled parking stalls or the perpendicular parking stalls on the west side of the lot to drop-off your child(ren). Stopping in drive isles is not permitted at any time for pick-up or drop-off. This is for everyone's safety.
- Once students exit the vehicle, they must use the designated pedestrian paths to get to their respective buildings.
- Please use the designated crosswalks and do not walk in the drive isles as this is very dangerous.
- Please drive slowly and carefully when in the parking lot, and take precaution when backing out.
- Backing into stalls is not permitted.
- If your child(ren) are in Keller Hall only, please use the Keller Hall parking lot accessed via Hochwald Avenue (north of Keller Hall). If your child(ren) are in multiple buildings, you may use the Bessborough Hall parking lot, as per the parking lot plan below.
- Please be respectful and patient with other parents, staff, and students that are utilizing the parking lot and pedestrian paths.
In addition to the guidelines above, we respectfully remind you that parking in the lot south of the gym and in front of Athlone Hall is prohibited. These parking areas are reserved for New Heights School parents and Access Calgary buses. Please refrain from parking in these areas.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Thank You!
THANK YOU to everyone for sharing in last week's Oatmeal Lunch that took place in our school and wearing BLUE! Our school community was united with the students around the world that benefit from receiving a meal with the efforts of Mary's Meals.
We are thrilled to announce our fundraising total: $2,750.27, which is enough to feed 171 children for an entire year in Malawi, Africa.
May God bless the children receiving these meals and everyone at CWA for participating.
