Frequently Asked Questions

Will you be expanding to other grades?

Yes. Grade 12 will be coming for the 25-26 school year

When do I receive my login credentials?

After your enrollment is verified and you receive a start date, the parent or guardian will receive a Welcome Email from your school. It will contain usernames and passwords for logging in. If you do not see the email, check your spam/junk folders.

Does the school offer laptops if I don’t have one?

Yes, a question during enrollment asks if you need a school-provided laptop.  

If I haven’t received my computer, who do I contact?

If you have not received your computer by your start date, you will contact the AMP help site for assistance. You can live chat, call, or submit a ticket directly from that website.

What supplies do I need for the start of school?

Have a designated workspace where you can be at your best without distraction. Check that your equipment and internet are set up and working correctly. A pen/pencil and notebook are also helpful to have on hand. Your teacher will inform you if you need other supplies once school begins.

Are there live classes? Will my child see other children on camera?

There are live class sessions led by a teacher where you can see other students in attendance and breakout sessions with your teacher(s) to get one-on-one support. The teacher records all sessions, and you will have access to those recorded sessions after the class.

Can students work at their own pace?

Students receive offline time to complete their assignments outside of live class sessions. Assignments have due dates that each student is expected to meet. However, a student who works at a different pace than another might use more offline time towards one assignment than the other.

WILL MY STUDENT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN CLUBS OR EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES?

All career tech students can participate in a Career Tech Student Organization. Students can participate in face-to-face conferences and competitions and earn a spot in a national competition.

WHAT EXAMPLES OF CAREER PREPARATION WILL MY STUDENT RECEIVE?

Students will specialize in their pathway and strive to earn industry credentials relevant to current, in-demand careers. Pathfinder’s credentials include Lean Six Sigma, Rise Up, Microsoft Office, and OSHA.

WHAT GUIDES YOUR CTE CURRICULUM AND REQUIREMENTS?

Pathfinder follows the Ohio Department of Education standards, including the rigorous Career Tech standards. Our advisory boards, consisting of industry professionals, also review the curriculum to ensure relevant material is delivered to our students in preparation for a career. While enrolled, students will have the opportunity to receive the designation of CTE concentrator or completer status per the Ohio Department of Education.

ARE THEIR OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADVANCED LEARNERS?

Students choose academies based on their personal interests and academic goals. Some academies offer college credit and a more rigorous curriculum that prepares students for college studies.

Do you take students with IEPs, and Do you have special education teachers/program?

Yes. We provide a full continuum of special education services for all students who need such support. Our special education leadership and teachers will review any special education documents from your child’s previous school, hold a team meeting to include the parents/guardians, and develop a plan to ensure the appropriate support.

Who do I contact if I have not heard back about my child’s enrollment?

You may reach out to the enrollment team. 

When do you send the release of records? Do you notify my current school I am leaving?

When a school receives a records request from us, your previous school must withdraw the student from that school. It is best if the family notifies the previous school that they are withdrawing, as each school/state may have documents requiring guardian signatures. It is best to inform the school of your intention to move schools as soon as possible, and they can set the end date accordingly.  

What are the business hours?

Monday-Friday, 8:00am-4:00pm
