Security & Dress Code Safety & Security The safety and security of the Malvern Prep community are of the highest priority for the school. Malvern Prep makes every attempt to ensure that its students, teachers, staff, parents, and visitors benefit from a safe environment. I.D. Cards I.D. cards serve as “swipe cards” and offer access into locked school buildings, so keeping them with you at all times is essential. For security reasons, lost cards must be reported immediately to your son's Student Academy Leader. Replacing a lost card will cost $5. Text Alert System Malvern Prep's Text Alert System allows us to send school closure or school emergency information to you quickly by text and, in some cases, by email and phone call as well. If you are not subscribed to the text alert system, please contact communications@malvernprep.org. Visitor Check-In Procedure Between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. visitors to Malvern Prep are required to park their vehicle in the visitor parking lot and check-in at
17
the Welcome Center. You must sign in and obtain a temporary visitor pass with the school receptionist. Visitors who have not checked in will be directed to the school receptionist in the Welcome Center by school security or employees of the school. Please note that the school is under video surveillance. Restricted Areas On-Campus For Students During school hours (7:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) no student is ever permitted to be in a building or classroom without faculty supervision. When outside of the buildings, students must remain inside the Ring Road at all times, unless accompanied by a teacher, and are not permitted in parking lots. To prevent class disruptions, students should always observe silence in the hallways while classes are being conducted. Gymnasiums may only be used if there is faculty supervision. If you have any questions about security and safety at the school or require assistance, please contact Mr. Steve LeStrange, Director of Safety & Security at slestrange@malvernprep.org or 484-595-5775.
