Summer Newsletters for Families
From mid-July to September, the Approaching Stanford team will send a monthly Family Newsletter to those listed in your Approaching Stanford Forms. To add your family member to the mailing list after the Approaching Stanford Forms deadline, please send an email request with your family member's name and contact information to approaching@stanford.edu. Note that this request must come from you, the student, not your family member.
Once the academic year begins, these family members will begin receiving the quarterly Stanford Parent and Guardian Newsletter. To add your family member to the mailing list after the academic year begins, please send an email request with your family member's name and contact information to mykidis@stanford.edu. Again, this request must come from you, the student, not your family member.
