Parent Agreement Form

I understand that the Swallowtail Forest School (hereafter referred to as “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. Forest School is child-directed and includes music, art, social interaction and exploratory play. All teachers are trained in nature/outdoor education. I am aware that Forest School 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 Forest School 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 in order for me to enroll my child in Forest School, he or she must be able to follow directions carefully and show respect towards teachers and other children. Children must be toilet-proficient in order to attend. They must know when they have to go to the bathroom and be able to effectively communicate that. I understand that the admissions process includes a school tour for parents and children to attend together to determine if Forest School 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. I understand if all spaces at Forest School are full, my child will be placed on a waiting list.

By checking this box I affirm that I have read and understand this form.
