Bike to School Day!

Dear Families,

We are excited that CJP will be participating on Bike to School Day on Tuesday June 4th. Students are invited to participate by biking from home to school or driving closer to school and biking the rest of the distance. Bike to School Day helps students become active and engaged with the outdoors. CJP has participated in this project for a few years, to encourage students to build a healthy lifestyle while having fun! More information can be found at: http://calgarybiketoschool.weebly.com/

If your child is choosing to participate please ensure their bike and helmet is clearly labeled with their first name, last name and room number. Students will be storing their helmets inside their classrooms. 

Please do not bring your bike in through the front doors. There will be two outdoor doors connected to the gym for students to drop their bikes off. Grades K-3 will enter through the west door (door closest to staff parking lot) with their bikes. Please be courteous to staff by not parking in the staff parking lot. The other entrance for grade 4-6 will be the the door closest to the front entrance of the school facing Northmount drive. Both doors will be marked with a sign and pylon. The students will enter the door and drop their bikes off inside the gym by their designated classroom spot marked with a number. Please note which door your child takes their bike in, they will be exiting through this door at the end of the day to meet you outside. Due to the volume of people participating, students are asked to independently bring their bike in and out of the gym. Teachers and volunteers will be assisting students in parking and retrieving their bikes. 

We are looking for CBE approved parent volunteers to help usher the students into the doors, help park their bikes and cheer them on! If you are able to volunteer in the morning from 8:45am-9:20am and/or 3:45pm-4pm please email

Thank you,
