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!
staying healthy
Staying Healthy is a document that details policies and procedures we’ve adopted to minimize the spread of contagion. We enforce these guidelines diligently. Because it’s a Google Doc, we’re able to update it as circumstances evolve and the version you find here will always be current.
online safety
With all the benefits of the Internet come certain risks, especially to children, who are trusting, curious, and unsophisticated in the ways of the world. In this article, Meher Schools Co-Principal and Safety Officer Ivy Summers outlines steps parents can take to keep their children safe in cyberspace. (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:
