When you have made changes to portions of the handbook do you give them a whole new handbook or just a list of said changes that you have made and have them sign it?
Yes, I just print off the contract (if I have no changes) and have them sign and date and call it good for a year. Although they aren't obligated to stay for another year, they know my contract won't change again for another year (UNLESS something super important needs tobe changed).
Yes, I print off a whole copy of the entire handbook if there were changes and give them one. (lots of paper but deductible
)
If I have a specific issue with the family or an important point I want to make, I will highlight that area of the handbook. I also include a letter saying it is contract update time and will mention to individual families to make sure they pay special attention to certain parts of the handbook.
