Safety of our staff and students is our number-one priority

In order to ensure the safety of our students and staff, our visitors policy is as follows:

When Visiting Pathway’s Campus During Business Hours

Business hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

• All visitors must sign-in at the receptionist desk in Butera Hall.
• All visitors, including parents and legal guardians, will state the nature of the visit or business and provide a government photo ID. The receptionist will then issue a visitor’s pass.
• All visitors will be escorted by a current Pathway employee at all times during business hours on Pathway’s campus.
• The visitors pass that the receptionist has provided to the visitor must be kept by the visitor at all times on Pathway’s campus.
• Students and staff are asked not to open doors for any person or group of people at a doorway.
• Visitors who fail to secure a visitor’s pass will be asked to either register with the receptionist or leave campus immediately. The police may be called if the situation warrants.
• The school’s campus and buildings are located on The Pathway School’s private property. There is no solicitation allowed on our campus.

When Visiting Pathway’s Campus During the Evening/Weekend (After Hours)

After hours are from 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, all day Saturday and Sunday.

• Visitors attending after school functions for the school or an outside organization must abide by the visitors policy set forth for the function/event. If you are unsure of the policy set forth, please contact Pathway’s Receptionist at 610-277-0660 ext. 0
• Staff must notify the HR Department and the Receptionist if they intend to bring visitors to campus during evening/weekend hours.
• Visitors arriving without prior arrangements will be asked to leave campus.
  Failure to notify the HR Department and the Receptionist of an evening and/or weekend visitor will result in disciplinary action.
• The school’s campus and buildings are located on The Pathway School’s private property. There is no solicitation allowed on our campus.

Process for Requesting a Visit

We are happy to welcome back former students, but there is a process they must follow. ANY visits to the Pathway campus need to follow this process.

• Returning students must call or email a request to visit at least a week or two in advance. Former students can call 610.277.0660 or they can send their request via email or through our Alumni Facebook page.
• Requests should include the desired visit date and the names of staff members/ classrooms they wish to see while they are on campus.
• Upon arrival, any visitor must sign in at the reception desk in Butera Hall (White House) prior to being escorted around the campus.
• Because we are a school, and classes are in session, all campus tours are limited to around an hour (60 minutes).
• Unannounced visits are likely to not be accommodated–sorry! We are a school, and we are in session.

We are happy you want to come visit, and we will be happy to see you back on campus, but we need you to follow The Pathway School campus visitor process.

Visitors who have the intention of working directly with or observing The Pathway School students and/or employees must give advance notice as defined in the student handbook, fill out the Non-Pathway Staff Registration Form and submit it to sthomas@pathwayschool.org.

If you have questions about any of these policies or procedures, please contact reception at 610-277-0660 ext. 0.
