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.

There is a YMCA Child Care right on site in the portable and attached Riverbend Community League for students at our school! Children who attend YMCA Child Care are curious about learning, excited about being active and learn how to be leaders in their community.
The research-backed YMCA curriculum is what sets YMCA Child Care apart. Children are guided to build friendships, explore their community and culture and delve into projects that spark their unique curiosity about the world. Each child care space is an extension of your child’s family and community, where differences are celebrated. In Kindercare, your child will continue to explore kindergarten topics, practicing their skills while being supported in every aspect of their development. And after sitting in school all day, your child will have lots of opportunity to play outside and participate in active games.
Exciting and engaging full-day summer programs run throughout July and August for children going into grades 1 to 7! Children spend their summer igniting their creativity, exploring their community and staying active at YMCA Child Care summer programs.
HOURS:
Monday–Friday | 7am–6pm (before and after school, all day on non-school days including summer break) Statutory Holidays & Easter Monday | Closed
