Which is NOT an approved method to notify parents or guardians of ownership change?

• A. Posting a conspicuous notice
• B. Incorporating information into an existing newsletter
• C. Sending individual letters or files
• D. Sending a mass text message to guardians

Answer: (D)

Communicating a change in ownership needs to be clear, accessible to every family, and easy to document. A conspicuous notice posted in the facility ensures that anyone who visits will see the update, and it creates a visible, formal reminder. Incorporating the information into an existing newsletter uses a channel families already read, increasing the chance they’ll see the notice without adding extra steps. Sending individual letters or files provides a direct, traceable notice to each family, giving you a clear record that the information was shared with each guardian.

A mass text message, while fast, doesn’t reliably reach every guardian, may not provide a durable or easily verifiable record, and can raise privacy concerns or miss important details due to length limitations. For these reasons, it isn’t considered an approved method for notifying parents or guardians about ownership changes.
