SCHOOL-WIDE ANNOUNCEMENTS
Important Traffic Update
Thank you for your patience as we work through traffic challenges at the start and end of each school day. We continue to encourage you that morning traffic will improve as families settle into routines for the school year.
That being said, we recognize the concerns around afternoon traffic. These problems are worsened by the construction project on Steels Corners, diverting all traffic to Wyoga Lake Road. Please know that we take this seriously and are in contact with the City of Cuyahoga Falls and Walsh Jesuit as all parties are looking for possible solutions for the next two months.
We hope to have an update after further discussion with the city later in the week. Please be patient, we know this has made for some long days, we hope to have more answers soon.
- Due to the heavy traffic at the Middle School Entrance, middle school students may also utilize the new high school drop off location and enter through the Athletics side entrance.
- Keep in mind the following drop-off and pick-up instructions, and note that the Rasnick Center is not a drop-off or pick up location:
Before School:
- Students may arrive at school as early as 7:15 a.m. ALL students arriving between 7:15 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. should use the Royals Fieldhouse entrance.
- If at all possible, students should arrive between 7:30 a.m. and 7:45 a.m. and proceed directly to their first class of the day.
- All entrances will be open to students at 7:30 a.m.
- Students who need to arrive before 7:30 a.m. on a Wednesday should use the Main Entrance.
- Students who have parked their cars may enter at the Rasnick Center, but cars may not drop students off there.
- Please do not drop off students at the main entrance after 7:25 a.m. as this space is reserved for school buses.
After School:
- The same doors used for drop off may be used for pick up. Note that the Rasnick Center is not a pick up location.
- For the safety of all students, it is critical that families pick up students as close to the 2:50 p.m. dismissal time as possible. If a student does not have an extracurricular practice, meeting, or rehearsal, they need to leave campus.
- Between 2:50 p.m. and 3:05 p.m. students should transition to their after-school practice or leave campus at 2:50 p.m.
- General supervision will not be provided after 2:50 p.m. Students involved in athletics, fine arts, and other after-school activities are under the supervision of coaches, advisors, etc.
