Newsletter
The Office of Parent Relations provides two opportunities for our
parents keep informed about life on campus.
Parent Relations E-Blast Program
Parents who would like to receive additional information about
what is going on within the campus community, what new resources
are available for parents, and any other news we feel might be interesting
to you is sent via an email distribution list. You will then have
the opportunity to respond with your thoughts directly to us, or
to the list as a whole group. We are hopeful that parents will use
this medium as a way to brainstorm ideas for difficulties they are
experiencing, to share resources that they become aware of, and
to mentor each other. Parents that have been participating thus
far have provided us with wonderful feedback. Please consider joining
us!

Monthly Newsletter
Every month The Office of Parent Relations sends its newsletter
to interested parents via US mail. Included in
the monthly newsletter is information on upcoming college events,
important dates for you and your student, along with updates on
campus policy and any other information we feel our parents would
like to know. If you would like to sign up for the monthly newsletter,
simply drop us a line at parents@strose.edu.
A Guide to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
for Parents
One of the challenges parents may face when their son or daughter
transitions from the high school environment to
college is the change in privacy standards regarding the educational
records of the student. All colleges and
universities including The College of Saint Rose are bound by a
federal law named the Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act otherwise known as FERPA (or the Buckley Amendment).

"The first dealings that my wife Elaine
& I had with the Office of Parent Relations and Wendy Neifeld
Wheeler was at our son's freshman orientation last summer. Wendy
coordinated the entire 2-day event, which we found extremely informative.
Wendy also got us interested in participating in 'Reach Out St
Rose Day' which was held in the fall. We spent the day working
on a Habitat for Humanity project in Arbor Hill with the entire
Women's Basketball team. It was a very rewarding experience. Wendy
works hard to keep parents 'in the loop' and we truly appreciate
it."
