Families (Body)
The Families at River Song consist of people from all socio-economic backgrounds, but share the common love of what Waldorf education has brought to their children and their parenting.
The responsibility of the Families at River Song Waldorf School is to enter a co-operative agreement with the Faculty and the Council to help facilitate the implementation of the Waldorf Curriculum with home support, including:
- Providing nutritious food for their children at home
- Limiting or eliminating media influence in the household
- Respecting sleep and household rhythms as important elements of assimilating learning
- Working with Teachers to improve the children's classroom experience
- Volunteering in sundry capacities
