Update School Policies

Update School Policies

Every year, we ask families to update their "school policies":

  1. Parent Contract. You can check that you have read and agree to abide by its terms.
  2. Student Contract. You can check that you and your student(s) have read and agree to abide by its terms.
  3. Medical Authorization. Affirm that New Hope has permission to initiate emergency medical treatment if necessary.
  4. Release From Liability. Affirm that New Hope is not to be held liable in the event of an injury.
  5. Media Use Agreement. Affirm or deny that New Hope may use images/videos of your student(s) in marketing materials.

To update your school policies

1. Log onto your parent portal.

2. Click "My Family" at the top of the page. 

3. Click the "School Policies" tab and then click on the "Policies" link.

4. Read through the policies and click "Agree" where applicable. You only have to check them once per year.
