Parent Questioning Every Policy

[Cat Herder]

Me too. Mine is 50+ pages long

Wow... What all do you have in there??? ::::

Mine is 3 pages, bullet format, triple spaced with enough room for them to initial/date each paragraph. My FAQ in only one page.

I am thinking of having a sheet with a list of every section in my policy handbook stating that I have gone over it with them, made sure they understand it, and that they agree to the policies listed below. And during interviews, after I go over each section, have them initial next to it and keep the copy in their file. And then if they ever say later "Oh you didn't tell me that" or "Oh I wasn't aware of that rule" show it to them and say "That's funny, because your initials say otherwise".

I am always working on mine- its currently at 12 pgs

Mine is 10 pages, and I feel like I am handing out a novel.

On the same note, I posted a slightly updated handbook on our FB yesterday, and had two parents come to me and apologize for breaking some policies without realizing it. Neither family was really breaking policies, just little things. But they were super apologetic.

Me too. Mine is 50+ pages long so I don't want to take time to read through each policy and discuss it at interviews.

I email the parents a copy upon enrollment and every fall when I update it. I'm going to start emailing a copy before interviews also.

Yikes, what do you guys have in there? If I made the font really, really big I might get 6 or 7 pages ::. Maybe I'm missing some important stuff...
