What I do is, I keep a little folder labelled "policy concerns' on my desktop (or an actual file works too) and I log each time there is something I would like to clarify or make a policy on that is not already in the handbook.
I put out a new handbook annually at the start of each school year, and I usually include a welcome letter that highlights the important changes to policy. The last thing is, on the contract itself it says above the signature:
I have received and read the policy handbook and agree to abide by all policies within.

Those pesky parents that find ways to drive me crazy only have till August to pull that baloney, then it gets covered next year.
