The Parent Handbook is a really fantastic idea. It brings together lots of separate forms and sheets of information into one parent-friendly publication. It makes us look professional and helps to create a parent-school relationship from the very beginning. It's a resource that parents can keep, and should help us to receive more completed forms from parents, and receive them earlier!
We also have a Starting School Storybook from Andrew, and when parents start using our school, we will give them both Starting School Storybook and Parent Handbook. It has become a suite of literature. These two publications not only meet real parent needs, but are meaningful and show parents and pupils alike that we have thought of them.
