BUSSES RUNNING LATE or showing up early? We appreciate your patience as we deal with busses over capacity, construction, new drivers and new bus routes which lead to delays, increased wait times and uncertainty about when the bus will arrive. In the first couple weeks of school bus transportation can be a bit unpredictable.

What can you do to help? If a bus arrives significantly early or late (more than 10 minutes), please contact Southland at (403) 526-4655 right away, their dispatch team can investigate and tell you when to expect the bus. We appreciate your patience and feedback as it helps us improve the service for everyone.

We understand that transportation delays can be challenging for families; this is temporary. With each school day, routes become familiar to new drivers, ridership stabilizes and services become more consistent. We are working with Southland Transportation to address challenges and are confident that the system will settle into a smooth and more predictable routine in the weeks ahead. Thank you for your patience as we get there.

It’s back to school time for everyone in including our School Resource Officers! 📚🚔🚌

The MHPS SROs work closely with students, staff, parents, and the broader school community to promote safety, build positive relationships, and provide education on issues affecting youth. As another school year begins, our SROs are excited to return to the classroom, reconnect with students and staff, and welcome those who are new to their schools.

The goal of the SRO Program is to provide a visible police presence within schools and work with students, staff, and parents to create safe learning environments while building positive relationships between youth and the MHPS.

Returning to the schools this year are several familiar faces. Constable Brent Bohrn will once again be serving Crescent Heights High School, while Constable Jason Van Mulligen will be working with students and staff at Medicine Hat High School. Both officers are looking forward to reconnecting with returning students and staff and welcoming those who are beginning a new school year.

Joining them are Constable Chris Mueller, who will be serving Monsignor McCoy High School, Notre Dame Academy & St. Mary’s School, and Constable Mackenzie Kipta, who will be working with students and staff at Alexandra Middle School / The Dr. Roy Wilson Learning Center & The Pathways School.

Together, the SRO team will be present throughout the school year to support school communities, provide education on a variety of youth-related topics, and serve as a trusted resource for students, parents, and educators.
