Siskiyou School Summer Camps! Registration closes Monday, June 17.

Tues, June 18: Final Tuesday Notice

Classes 5-8 are REQUIRED to be at graduation, as those classes are part of the ceremony.

• ARRIVAL is at 3:45 on our campus to ensure we begin promptly at 4:00.
• Kindergarten & Classes 1, 2 & 4 are invited to attend and stay with their parents.

• Class 3: Students are welcomed to attend the graduation of their buddy class! Students will sit with their parents.

• Classes 5-7: Students are required to attend. Students will be part of the end of the ceremony. Students will sit with their teachers. We very much hope that at least one parent per student will attend the event.

Graduation Dress Code: Children should dress in “Sunday’s best”! Please note, that the weather promises to be sunny and warm. Plan to bring hats, sunscreen, and perhaps a water bottle.

Attendance at 8th Grade Reception:

The graduation ceremony itself is expected to end around 5:30 p.m. Light refreshments will follow for 8th grade families and guests only.

Parking: Parking will be on Clay Street and in the Takelma neighborhood, not around Glendale. Please be mindful of the neighbors' driveways and park respectfully. Also, take care when parking to park fully within the median, not in the road.

If you have any questions at all, please call the office. Thank you!

As the year draws to a close, MOVING DAY is upon us! This is the time after school on Friday, June 7th, when we gather as a community to help clean out the classrooms and move our students into their new space for next year! It takes MANY hands, but can be a satisfying way to close out the year. Please join us!

Siskiyou School yearbooks will be small and sweet this year with a price to match! The book features class photos from each of the grades and a page for autographs. Pre-order your yearbook today! The cost is $10 and yearbooks will be delivered on Wednesday of the last week of school.

Pre-order closes Tuesday, June 4th. Books are not guaranteed for sale after Tuesday, June 4th.

Please note, traffic coming down Faith Avenue towards Ashland Street have the right-of-way at the stop sign with Clay Street. We have conditional use of our property in this residential neighborhood based upon our good relationship with our neighbors. Please help us out by being mindful of traffic and parking regulations. Thank you!

Last week, our own Ms. McKissick was featured on Jackson Public Radio with a story she shared at the Hearth. We're happy to share this beautiful story with you here and thankful we have such compassionate teachers, like Ms. McKissick, to be with our children every day.

We're having a booth at the 4th of July celebrations in Ashland! If you’d like to help out, please sign up for a spot to help at the booth. We will be selling peppermint-lemons and answering questions about Waldorf education and our school. There will be shade and amazing people-watching!
