Parent Agreement *

I understand that River Gorge Forest School experience requires active parent participation and support at home. We want our students to be as healthy as possible and that includes a healthy environment at school and at home. I will make sure my child is well-nourished and well-rested every day and will participate in parent meetings and weekend events at the school as often as possible. I understand that the school curriculum is experiential and seasonally- and nature-based. RGFS is child-directed and includes music, art, social interaction and exploratory play. All teachers are trained in nature/outdoor education. I am aware that RGFS is totally nature-based, and children will be outside in all weather conditions, except severe weather conditions. I am committed to providing my child appropriate clothing for the weather conditions. I understand that RGFS is NOT appropriate for children who do not follow instructions. Children will also be allowed an unusually wide range of physical experiences including going to the bathroom outside. I understand that the admissions process includes a school tour for parents and children to attend together to determine if RGFS is a good fit for everyone before final enrollment forms are signed. I understand that this application is NOT a contract, and I will expect to hear from the Director of Enrollment to register my family for a school tour. And if all spaces are full, my child will be placed on a waiting list.

By checking this box I acknowledge the above, have read, and understand this form
