Educational Services
Educational Services provided by Genesee Lake School can be accessed by students placed for day school services and residential services. They are designed for students needing a more structured and responsive environment than they are accessing in their current educational environment.
Respite
The extraordinary and intensive demands of providing on-going care to a child/adolescent with a disability can be overwhelming. The GLS Respite Program provides temporary relief to the parents and regular caregivers of these children/adolescents. The support given can range from several hours to several days.
We support Respite clients in the same manner we support the individuals in our Residential Program. Supports are provided by well-trained professionals in our current program areas and Respite clients follow the same general routines and are included in the social/community activities of the area in which they are staying.

MyPath External Stakeholder Code of Conduct
MyPath’s mission is to transform lives. We rely on our five core Beliefs and Behaviors to support this effort.
To carry out our mission, we employ and serve people who represent a variety of characteristics and identities. Every one of those members of the MyPath community is valuable. We strive to create an environment where those who differ in age, ability, race, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, religion, sexual orientation, size, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics nevertheless prosper together through shared values and goals.
We collaborate with stakeholders who help us achieve this mission. Our extended community holds a shared responsibility to treat everyone with dignity and respect at all times and to create an environment where everyone can thrive.
Accordingly, any person, family, or entity that engages with MyPath is expected to demonstrate inclusive and respectful behaviors in every interaction with MyPath. This includes activity and comments posted on social media or shared with other external stakeholders. It also includes direct personal interactions during MyPath provision of services.
This Code sets forth the standards we expect our stakeholders to follow. It is not intended to reduce, replace, or limit any legal or contractual obligations that stakeholders may owe to MyPath. Since it is impossible to predict and describe every situation, stakeholders should follow this Code in both spirit and letter.
MyPath takes seriously any failure to meet the expectations set out in this Code. We may decide no longer to do business with any person, family, or entity that fails to follow it.
