Below you will find the most updated iteration of our COVID policies. The CDPH released an updated set of guidelines in March 2023, and we have adjusted our policies to more closely align with their recommendations. Parents must still communicate ANY ABSENCE (illness or otherwise) to our office, via office@daviswaldorf.org.

COVID-19 GUIDELINES 23-24 (UPDATED August 2023)

Davis Waldorf School could not provide such an amazing learning environment without the help of our parent body. We request all parents give 30 hours of their time over the course of the school year. There are many ways parents can assist, and even the simplest of tasks are invaluable to our community life here.

Many of you have heard us say, "Many hands make for light work!" When our students see parents giving their time and energy to their school, it models for them the importance of service to the community. Please take a moment to fill out the survey below to let us know what volunteer opportunities you are most interested in and what times during the year work best for you.

Vacation Care is offered on a limited basis during times when the school is closed. There is a minimum enrollment requirement for the  program.  If less than four children are signed up for the program on any given day, that  day will be cancelled.  Vacation Care contracts for all scheduled care dates can be found in the DWS Blackbaud Portal.

Vacation care has several contracted pick up times.  If less than four children are contracted per pick up time, the program will close for that time segment.  For example, if two children are contracted to stay until 5:30 p.m., but five children are contracted to stay until 4:00 p.m., the vacation care program will end at 4:00 p.m.

Field Trips are a key component of the hands-on education Davis Waldorf students receive. From their first day trip  in 3rd grade, to their epic 8th grade adventure, our students have many incredible opportunities to learn in different locations throughout California (and beyond). In order to make these trips possible, certain forms must be submitted prior the field trip.

Please refer to the table below to see what forms you will need to submit to the office (email: registrar@daviswaldorf.org). 
For more details on the specific forms, please visit the Field Trip page on the website.
