Parent handbook
The Meher Schools Parent Handbook covers our policies and procedures and other information that's important for all Meher Schools families to know. Over the course of the year, you'll find that most questions of a general nature that you may have are answered in the handbook. The handbook includes a section about our Child Safety Program, which was published in previous years as a separate document. If you have questions about anything that's in (or isn't in) the handbook, please let us know. We're here to help!

(This article is updated and published every year in Wednesday Messages at the request of our Child Safety Committee. )
Here are links to the online resources Ivy mentions in her article:
