Transportation

Children who live within school boundaries are encouraged to walk to and from school. Parents may also choose to drive students, though parking near the school can be congested during peak hours. 

Children coming from Maple neighbourhood and students who live further than 1.6km from school may be eligible for busing to Julia Kiniski School. Busing is provided in the Maple neighbourhood, which does not have a school in their area, and Julia Kiniski is the designated school. Information about applying for busing can be found here.

Parking and Student Drop-Off

We understand that the parking situation around Julia Kiniski can be challenging for families with limited space.  It is a very busy street/intersection in front of the school and our priority is always the safety of our students. 

There is parking along 44 street as well as 41 street.  

The large orange pylons along 41 avenue (in front of the school) are reserved for our school bus

• If there is no yellow school bus, you may pull up and drop off and go.
• Please be mindful of the crosswalk and student visibility. 
• Drivers are required to slow to 30 km/h in all playground zones from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day.  
• Please  be mindful of our neighbors, not blocking driveways or parking on lawns.  
• We ask that families do not  stop and let students out in the middle of the road or in the crosswalk
• When parking in the cul-de -de-sac you must be cautious with the families and individual students that are crossing sidewalk to sidewalk.

The Julia Kiniski  parking lot is reserved for school staff only.  We ask that families do not use this lot for the safety of our students and staff.  We also ask that families not use the bus lane/round about.  This lane does need to be kept clear for our yellow school buses

The Safety of ALL children at our school is a shared responsibility.
