General School Guidelines

Welcome to the Austin Waldorf School! Our purpose is to support the healthy
intellectual, artistic, social, and moral development of the students. A shared
understanding of the school’s policies and procedures is a foundation of a healthy school community, and the aim of this handbook is to make those policies and procedures clear for students, parents, faculty, and staff.

Fundamental to our work as a school is the expectation that all members of our community—students, parents, teachers, and staff alike—will treat one another with respect and consideration. Students are expected to be courteous and considerate in both their speech and behavior toward all other students, faculty and staff, parents, and campus guests. Adults in the community model this behavior for the students.

PURPOSE OF THIS HANDBOOK
This Handbook was developed to answer many of the commonly asked questions that parents, and students may have during the School year. Because the Handbook contains information about student rights and responsibilities, parents and students are responsible for knowing its contents. Please take the time to become familiar with the following information and keep this Handbook available for your use.

Students who reach 18 years of age while enrolled in the School are bound by all student and parent obligations in this Handbook.
