School Closed (School Renewal)

Event Details

Date: August 12 – 16, 2019
Categories: Administrative

River Song will be closed August 12 through August 16.

Every year around this time, we perform our renewal rituals (which is a fun way to rethink “deep cleaning”). Following the sticky, sandy, sunny sweetness of summer, the school is closed so we can deep clean our building, classrooms, kitchen, community spaces and all of our favorite toys and books. Then, we can kickoff our “Back to School” experience with freshness, renewed vitality, and a clean start.

Our new school year will kick-off on Monday, August 19.

Enrollment Commitments

In the physical, emotional, social, academic, and spiritual sense, each of us hold every River Song child’s well-being so that nurturing and learning is possible. We ask our parents, guardians and all family members to support the Waldorf Curriculum by applying our school's principles and practices at home. Together, we can create the best possible experiences for all of our children:

Provide nutritious food at home and invite children to participate in food making, service, and clean up
Limit or eliminate media influences in the household
Respect sleep and household rhythms as important elements of good health and effective learning
Partner with teachers and staff to improve and enhance children’s classroom experiences
Volunteer at school events, festivals, or in other strategic and operational capacities so that River Song can continue to be a magical place
