Traffic and Bus Safety 

When dropping your children off in the morning, please be mindful of pedestrian safety.  We have had complaints of students running out in front of moving cars to cross the street to the school or to meet their family at the end of the day.     Best practices include using the crosswalks at all times and looking both ways to ensure cars have stopped. 

Please do not park in the bus zone from 8:45am-9:25am or from 3:25pm-4:00pm.  We now have six busses daily at PLS and they require this space to drop off and pick up students safely.     

Cold Weather Safety 

Peter Lougheed school doors open at 9am.  If you are dropping your child(ren) off early, please ensure they are dressed appropriately for the weather.   Bus service can also be impacted by the weather and students need to be prepared for cold temperatures as well. 

Social Media safety 

We are asking all parents and guardians of Peter Lougheed Students to please check in with your children about their social media use. Many instances of bullying and conflicts happen online and specifically through the app SnapChat. There are some resources available through SnapChat called the Family Centre, where parents can monitor their children's use of the app. Please follow the link below to learn more.
