Parent-Teacher Conferences - April 23, 24, 27, 28

RWS will hold Parent Teacher Conferences on Thursday April 23, Friday April 24, Monday April 27, Tuesday April 28 for Grades 1 to 8, and the Magnolia, Oak, Acorn, and Willow Early Childhood classes.

Parent-Teacher conferences are designed to strengthen the parent-teacher relationship and their ability to work together for the benefit of the child, to share teacher evaluation of the child, and to set goals for the child's further progress. We encourage every family to make time for this important reflection of your child

Administrative Announcements

Enroll and Help Us Plan for Next Year

We are asking parents to complete the enrollment portion of TADS by May 4 so that we can prepare a realistic budget and prepare for next school year. Tight on cash right now? Your $200 enrollment fee can be deferred by emailing me to request that change!

If you cannot complete the tuition agreement yet because you are going through a TA appeal process or requesting COVID relief, you can still complete the enrollment portion in TADS to give us a headcount and your intention to enroll. Reach out to me for any support or with questions.

The Sun Fund: Helping Our Community in a Time of Need

The Sun Fund is a newly created initiative to support the Richmond Waldorf School community during COVID-19 and specifically, to provide emergency tuition assistance for our families for school tuition payments in the current or next school year. We need each other now more than ever before. Many families in our community are suffering, and RWS is committed to helping families in financial crisis due to COVID-19 to continue their Waldorf education!

That’s where the Sun Fund comes in . Help a family, help our school, help our community. This is our chance to come together in this time of great need to ensure that our children continue to be empowered by this amazing Waldorf education.

Read more at https://richmondwaldorf.com/the-sun-fund/ and if you are able, please consider making a donation to the Sun Fund in support of our fellow community members.
