Student Injuries/Medical Costs -Even with the greatest precautions and the closest supervision, accidents can and do happen at school. They are a fact of life and a part of the growing-up process our children go through. Parents need to be aware and prepared for possible medical expenses that may arise should their child be injured at school. Syringa Mountain School does not provide medical insurance or pay for medical expenses when students are injured at school. This is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians. The school does provide student medical insurance information available to families for their individual purchase. Ask Christi Thompson for more information for specific event insurance available to purchase through at third party. Verification of medical insurance is required for all students participating in certain programs such as the ski program and any other school related overnight field trip. When those situations arise, parents will be given notice and medical insurance documentation will be required. Parents, please be prepared for your child's possible medical expenses. I have read and understand this notice. Please select yes for consent:

2023-2024 PARENT SUPPORT AGREEMENT: Enrolling in Syringa Mountain School is a commitment to creating the best possible support for your child’s educational success and this is only possible with a strong partnership between home and school. You have not simply chosen a school for your child; you have decided to become a contributing member of a Public Waldorf Inspired Charter community committed to social renewal. The public charter school you have chosen for your child is only possible if we are all working together collaboratively toward shared goals.

1. The first area of engagement is direct support of your child’s educational process. There is no suggested number of hours that this will require – it is simply an ongoing commitment to be involved and attentive to your child’s day to day experience and to support the classroom and school community as you are able. Please read and check each commitment.

Assure your child arrives on time

Regular daily attendance is vital for your child's academic success and overall development

Attend two parent/teacher conferences, and additional meetings as needed

Respond to requests for classroom support from your child’s teacher and/or the parent classroom representative. Examples of classroom needs include driving for field trips, making costumes for plays, assisting with in-school events such as plays and performances, helping with class events such as fundraising activities, making food for a class celebration, etc.

Limiting the students’ screen time is the expectation at home throughout these important years of your child's development.

Promote positive use of your child’s extracurricular time.

Create daily and weekly rhythms for your child at home; share meals together.

Try to send wholesome ingredients, fruits and vegetables, and as little processed sugar as possible. We recommend sending snacks and lunches with reusable containers, utensil, & lunch boxes. We require reusable water bottles if you need help acquiring one please contact your teacher.

2. It takes a village to raise a child, please volunteer. We recommend 40 hours of volunteerism per family, per year.

3. Financial Contributions – Annual Fund Drive.

The funds we receive from the State of Idaho are not sufficient to provide the full Waldorf program we offer. Unlike other Blaine County Public schools, we receive only funding from State and Federal entities. Other Blaine County Public schools for example, receive this, but also receive approximately $10,000 in additional local funding per student from our property taxes and local school levies. In order for us to thrive, grow and provide the enriched programs inherent in Waldorf methods, we rely on the resources, networking, and collaborations of our parent body. We seek 100% participation from our families at whatever financial level you are able to contribute. SMS needs to raise approximately $3,000 per student per year to augment operational costs and provide this unique education that requires Waldorf trained staff, additional teachers to teach farm, garden and sustainability, handwork, world languages, and integrated arts such as painting, drawing, drama, and music including voice, flute, violin, and cello

Optional Monthly Donation: As a school offering such unique and diverse instruction, we need to fundraise to meet our budget needs annually. Receiving no local funding, we apply for grants, participate in Idaho Gives, hold fundraising events throughout the year, and ask for your help with our annual fund drive. Setting up a monthly contribution or a one-time charge is one of the easiest ways to help ensure the quality program we provide thrives. We appreciate any amount donors are able to contribute to help fund the unique educational opportunities we offer your child at SMS! Would you like to make a donation?? *
