Updated Handbook

[Sparkles]

I updated my handbook a couple weeks ago. Do you have everyone sign a whole new contract? Or do you type something up that they acknowledge the changes snc have them sign that? Or just do nothing since they all recieved the changes?

The last time I did an update I just did it at the first of the month and sent out my monthly newsletter with a notification that there were updates and summarized them and encouraged parents to read the updated sections. In my contract it says that by signing parents agree to follow the policies in my handbook and acknowledge that there may be updates made over time and that they will be notified via email (which is how I send my newsletter). So I don’t make them sign anything new.

I do what BaileeB does and send any updates in the newsletter. I send my newsletter out every season. My contract says something very similar, too.

[e.j.]

Whenever I have a policy change, I give the parents a form that states what the new policy is and have them sign it. That gets put into their child's file along with the original handbook the parents signed when they first enrolled their child. I don't print out a new handbook for each parent. New parents get a handbook that includes the revised policy already in it.

My contract states similar to what BB's and GM's does.

Families re-sign a contract each year, any addendums during the year that need signed I print out separately and have parents sign. Their next contract will have the new policy in it next year.

I have everyone resign their contracts yearly.
Any changes made that can’t wait until yearly signing are managed like e.j. does.

We redo contracts annually as well...end of year, every year!!!
