Parent / Guardian Summer Newsletters
Throughout the summer, the Approaching Stanford team will send the Approaching Stanford Newsletter for Parents/Guardians to those listed in your Approaching Stanford Forms. To add your parent/guardian to the mailing list after the Approaching Stanford Forms deadline (early June), please send an email request with your parent/guardian's name and contact information to approaching@stanford.edu. Note that this request must come from you, the student, not your parent/guardian.
Once the academic year begins, these parents/guardians will begin receiving the quarterly Stanford Parent and Guardian Newsletter. To add your parent/guardian to the mailing list after the academic year begins, please send an email request with your parent/guardian's name and contact information to mykidis@stanford.edu. Again, this request must come from you, the student, not your parent/guardian.
