Here's what I've done (because I'm a big chicken when it comes to possibly offending someone or having them ask confrontational questions!! LOL)
I type up a notice "as if " it's going to everyone. I put something along the lines of: "Dear Parents: There will be a rate increase effective ________. Your new rate is written below."
I print it out, then write in their new amount as if everyone got the notice and had a handwritten amount filled in on the blank line. Then I pencil the family's last name up in a corner - again, as if everyone got the notice with their name penciled in for delivery purposes.
I think what I might do in your situation is to raise them $10 now, and $10 next January. That way, you're making back your $20, but it just looks more natural. As if you had rate increases every 6 months.
That's just me though. :
