35 YEARS:
Happy Anniversary DWS!
|
The Davis Waldorf School is turning 35 years old this summer! 35 years of learning, laughter, and a lot of growing! From a living room in Dixon to our current 5-acre campus, the school has grown in leaps and bounds. This past year, the school and our community faced an unparalleled set of challenges - and we rose to the occasion. Keep an eye out for more information on a community celebration later this summer to commemorate this milestone! |

Tuition Management for 21-22:
Returning to SMART Tuition Management
|
Dear Families,
We are pleased to announce that we will be returning to SMART Tuition Management, also called Blackbaud Tuition Management, for the processing and collection of tuition for the 2021-22 school year. Applications, Contracts, Enrollment, and Student Reports will remain with our BigSIS database.
As with the 2020-21 school year, all tuition will be collected automatically. However, SMART will give families more customer service and support (including Spanish speaking representatives); easier access to your online accounts; the ability to make payments online, via phone, or even cash payments at available outlets.
In order to make this change in tuition management as smooth as possible, SMART will send a link to you via email. We ask that you fill out your payment information by Thursday, June 9th. You do not need to input the rest of your information at this time. However, you are welcome to make any changes/account adjustments.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Vatrena King
Bookkeeper, Davis Waldorf School
