Franciscan Loop Opening
We are very excited to officially open Franciscan Loop TOMORROW, September 22. Below is the new traffic pattern for entering the campus in the morning and exiting the campus in the afternoon. This new process replaces our current use of the front of the school for drop off/pick up as well as pick up at St. Matthias School.
MORNING: Pull up as far forward as possible in the right lane for drop off. Students will have access to 3 doors, using the closest to their drop off point.
Morning Traffic Flow
All students, faculty and staff who park in the South lot or behind the school (near the Weight Room) will enter school grounds via Stallion Way.
Stallion Way is for students, faculty and staff only.
Stallion Way is one-way entering campus between 6:30 am and 8:00 am.
Parents who drop off their child will enter the school grounds via the traffic light at Karl Road and Evaline Drive. Franciscan Loop is one way at all times in counterclockwise direction.
When entering campus at the light, keep to the right to enter Franciscan Loop. Do not proceed in front of the school. This is for buses only.
Important: Parents are asked to drive to the furthest drop off point as possible in Franciscan Loop. Parents will use the far-right/outside lane for drop-off.
There are three entrances available for student use:
#1 East Entrance behind school opposite the Weight Room
#2 Chapel Entrance
#3 Student Services Center Entrance
After students are dropped off, parents will continue around Franciscan Loop and exit at the traffic light at Karl Road and Evaline Drive.
Afternoon Traffic Flow
AFTERNOON: Pull up to the furthest drop off point as possible. Use outside lane and inside lane to wait for student. Exit via the middle lane.
All students, faculty and staff who park in the South lot or behind the school (near the Weight Room) will exit school grounds via Stallion Way.
Stallion Way is for students, faculty and staff only.
Stallion Way is one-way, exiting campus between 3:00 pm and 4:00pm.
Parents who pick up students will drive as far as they can around Franciscan Loop in one of the two designated pick-up lanes: an outer lane and an inner lane.
Students will use crosswalks and sidewalks to make their way to the cars waiting on the north side of the loop and to the cars in the inner lane on the south side of the loop.
Once students are in the car, parents will merge into the middle exit lane, and leave school grounds via the light at Karl Road and Evaline Drive.
Franciscan Loop is one-way at all times in a counterclockwise direction.
Note: Cars should never cue in the crosswalks, middle loop lane or the middle cut through lanes.
Bus Drop-off and Pick-up
Students who ride a bus will be dropped off and picked up in front of the school.
Important: The drive in front of the school is for bus traffic only.
Visitors
Visitor parking is available in front of the school during school hours.
