Community Safety
It is that time of year again when we are calling on help from our community members.
If you see any young adults on the roof of the school, please call the 9-1-1 (only if it is an emergency) or 780-423-4567 or #377 (non-emergency) to report it.
We appreciate our community support in helping to keep everyone safe and avoid any damage to the school.
Thank you.
Earl Buxton School is located in southwest Edmonton in the Riverbend community. The school primarily serves children from the Rhatigan Ridge, River Ridge and Falconer Heights neighborhoods.
The School Council plays a very active role in supporting the school. The rate of volunteerism by parents is extremely high.
The school staff enjoy a positive working relationship with St. Mary Elementary School with whom we share a common playground. The Riverbend Community League building is attached to the school and we have a mutually beneficial partnership with them as well as the YMCA. The YMCA leases a portable from EPSB and offers before and after school care for a number of our students, with evening access to our gymnasium allowed from 4:00 to 5:00 pm. Our gymnasium is heavily used by community members from 5:00 to 9:00 Monday to Thursday.
YMCA
