In Recognition of Indigenous People's Day

Let us take a moment to acknowledge the land on which our school stands.

For thousands of years, this land has been the home of Patwin people.

Today, there are three federally recognized Patwin tribes: Cachil DeHe Band of Wintun Indians of the Colusa Indian Community, Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation, and Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation. The Patwin people have remained committed to the stewardship of this land over many centuries. It has been cherished and protected, as elders have instructed the young through generations.

We are honored and grateful to be here today on their traditional lands. 

Approved by Cachil DeHe Band of Wintun Indians of the Colusa Indian Community,

Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation, and Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation

COVID Policy Reminder:

Siblings of Symptomatic Students

If a DWS student is experiencing any of the symptoms from the list linked below, the symptomatic student AND any siblings who also attend DWS must remain at home. We have experienced no COVID transmission as DWS due to our families supporting our COVID safety policies

A child NOT experiencing any symptoms may return once their symptomatic sibling receives a negative COVID test result (from a test taken after the onset of their symptoms). At this time, we do not accept at-home tests as evidence of a negative result. The symptomatic student may return after a negative COVID test result is received and after symptoms have improved. Fever must be absent for 24 hours without the aid of fever reducing medications.

Please direct further questions to Cori Brewer at registrar@daviswaldorf.org.

Children of all ages are invited to enjoy the "Protected Path," a journey through a wonderful world of vignettes, fairy tales, and far-off lands. The magical path is open to children of any age, but the beginning of the path is specify designed for the preschool and kindergarten aged child. After the 8th vignette, early childhood aged children and their parents will disembark from the path and older children will be invited to continue on a longer path filled with magic and humor.

The purchase of one ticket grants access to the path for one child and one accompanying parent. Spots are limited, so make sure you sign up today. Click here to buy your tickets now!

Michaelmas Pageant

Friday October 1

Long ago, in a faraway place, a kingdom lived in dread and fear of a loathsome beast that was eager to devour human and animal alike. What knights would courageously wield this sword to tame such a beast?
