Winter Warmth Drive and Distribution

Please participate in this volunteer-led and Student Council-supported community event that invites families to donate their extra winter warmth items from Wednesday, October 9th-Wednesday, October 16th and all families to find new-to-you items for their children during the distribution event at Family-Teacher Conferences on Thursday, October 17th. “Winter warmth” items are winter coats, snow pants, warm socks, boots, gloves, hats, and other items that a child would wear to stay warm this winter. This does not include winter sporting equipment. Please bring your winter warmth items to the Front Desk between 8:30am-3:30pm. Thank you!

Family-Teacher Conferences

A critical time to connect about your child's school experience, Family-Teacher Conferences are meant for adults only in grades K-5 and involve student participation in grades 6-8. This year, conferences are in the evening after school on the 15th and 16th, and all day on the 17th, which means no school on the 17th. Childcare will be provided for school-aged siblings during your conference timeslot. Please see ParentSquare for the sign-up that  was sent to you on October 3rd.

Join Us for a Tour

We offer guided, adults-only, in-person tours on various Tuesday mornings. These tours include time for presentation and discussion, as well as a walk of the campus. We also hold periodic evening virtual tours where children are able to attend. All tours are given by our Registrar, Nancy Sexton.

7 Core Principles of Public Waldorf Education

As a member of the Alliance for Public Waldorf Education, we support and follow these important principles:

1. Image of the Human Being. Public Waldorf education is founded on a coherent image of the developing human being. 

2. Child Development. An understanding of child development guides all aspects of the educational program, to the greatest extent possible within established legal mandates.

3. Social Change Through Education. Public Waldorf education exists to serve both the individual and society.

4. Human Relationships. Public Waldorf Schools foster a culture of healthy relationships.

5. Access and Diversity. Public Waldorf Schools work to increase diversity and access to all sectors of society.

6. Collaborative Leadership. School leadership is conducted through shared responsibilities within established legal structures.

7. Schools as Learning Communities. Public Waldorf schools cultivate a love of lifelong learning and self-knowledge.
