Tuesday Notice

Dear Siskiyou School Community,

In three weeks, on Tuesday, September 8th, we will start school, and as you can imagine, we are so looking forward to welcoming the children back to the richness of Waldorf Education at the Siskiyou School!

From today on we will again be sending out a weekly Tuesday Notice with useful updates and enriching information from teachers, the office and Administration. It has been very challenging to get things on track given the constantly moving pieces. We will be sharing the fruits of this work at the upcoming Town Hall ZOOM Meeting. We look forward to seeing you at this meeting on Thursday, August 20th at 7 pm. This meeting will be hosted jointly by the Faculty and Board.

Please also pay attention to the tuition details below.

This Friday we are asking parents and children to come and help begin preparing our campus. It will be our first Family Work Day this month; we will very likely be hosting a few more. Last time we scheduled a family work day in July, many children and parents came to help spruce up our campus; it was helpful and heartwarming! Thank you in advance for any help you can lend.

Sending you all my best, Aurilia

The office is currently open Monday - Friday, 9 am - 12 pm.

Please join the Faculty and Board at our Town Hall ZOOM meeting on Thursday, August 20th, at 7:00 pm. We will discuss the upcoming plans for the 2020-2021 school year. We will post a recording of the meeting in this week's Friday Updates. We look forward to seeing you!

We will be sending a link to all current Siskiyou School families via email on Thursday morning.

The next three Fridays we are opening campus for our Family Work Parties! Please join us as we work to get the campus ready for the start of school. This Friday, from 9 am - 1 pm, we invite families to campus to help with weeding, sweeping, unpacking supplies, working in the Glendale yard, and much more. We will have tools, buckets, brooms, and popsicles ready for your arrival. Please stop by the front office, or catch us on the woodchips, and we will let you know where help is needed.

Thank you to the families that joined us in July to start the process! We look forward to seeing you this Friday. Please feel free to come at any time between 9 am - 1 pm.

We will make sure that physical distancing will be respected; and masks need to be worn if that is not attainable. Thank you!

We have dedicated a section of our website to keep families and community members up to date on the Siskiyou School's plan to reopen and provide information on the current guidelines due to COVID-19. You can find our school's current plan (which will be updated with changes as they happen), the operational blueprint provided to the ODE, all past emails that have been sent from the Administration and the Board, and many additional details.

This section of the website is a good place to stay up to date during the moving parts of this year. We will update it as soon as we have more information. You may also share this with other community members who may have questions about the Siskiyou School's 2020- 2021 reopening plan.

This is a friendly reminder that tuition must be paid in full before your child can resume classes on September 8th. As a reminder, you can pay by cash, check, or set-up a recurring payment with a credit card with Cynthia (as a note, there is roughly a 3% fee that applies to all credit card transactions).

Please email or call Cynthia if you have any questions regarding your tuition payments, Cynthia.Bower@siskiyouschool.org or 541-482-8223 ext. 22. Please note that tuition for July and August is now past due.
