Be sure to check out the step-by-step Help Center article, Legal Policies & Policy Groups - An Overview, before you move to Step 1 of creating policies for your organization.
In Jackrabbit, legal policies, or waivers, are easy to create and manage. The settings are located under the Gear icon > Settings > Policies. After you finish creating individual policies, they must be assigned to Policy Groups. Policy Groups are then assigned to classes.
Jackrabbit makes it simple and allows you to set up and create as many policies as you need for your business.
We recommend you speak to your insurance carrier or legal counsel to determine what policies are needed for your organization. In addition, it's best to update your legal policies at least once a year. Parents will be prompted to reagree to updated policies when they log in to their Parent Portal.
Create a Policy
- Go to the Gear (icon) > Settings > Policies (tab).
- Click Add New Policy (icon)

Reagree to Policies in the Parent Portal
Families are automatically prompted to reagree in the Parent Portal each time you update a policy. However, there may be instances when you don't want to modify a policy, and you still need your families to reagree to them. Use the More icon to prompt a reagreement to policies.
- Go to the Gear (icon) > Settings > Policies (tab).
- Select the Policies you want to include or leave the 1st column unchecked to select all.
- Click the More
(icon) and select Require Reagreement.
- Click the Require Reagreement button in the pop-up window. This will require families to reagree to the policies you selected the next time they log in to their Parent Portal.
Use the More
icon > Print to open a print dialogue box and print the Policy list. Be sure to check your printer settings so the entire page will fit. You may have to use a landscape layout and change the scale to fit the entire grid on the page.
