Please enjoy a Safe and Relaxing Spring Break

As the last of the snow melts off the playground and first buds tentatively peep free, we wish you and yours a safe and relaxing Spring Break. Thank you for working hard to keep WSRF open and in-person. In a year like none other, we are grateful for you dedication and support.

We cannot wait to have all our students back again on the 29th!

WSRF Quarantine and Travel Policy

Are students and teachers who have recently traveled to “red zone” counties or internationally required by the school to quarantine prior to being back in school?

Yes, the school requires that after you return from travel to “red zone” counties within the USA or an international destination, you must remain at home for 10 days upon return. Please report your travel destinations to Administrative Council and a determination will be made if quarantine is required based on the most current data regarding incident rates.

Some parents are inquiring about Spring Break travel. For planning and transparency, we utilize the map published here and consider Red to mean 100 or greater average daily cases per 100,000 people in past week. Data changes daily.

If you have questions or need clarity on travel plans, please email larry@waldorfschoolrf.org.

Waldorf Curriculum Spotlight: Window into 7th Grade through a Main Lesson Book

Few things provide a more wonderful, impressive and expansive view into the work of our middle schoolers than their carefully hand-created Main Lesson Books. These works of art provide a dynamic window into the depth, breadth and complexity that our students are working with as they move through the 7th grade curriculum. This short video provides a glimpse at the work done so far in our 7th grade class this year. With weeks left in the school year, we can’t wait to see where they go next!
