All volunteers working with SWS students during school-sponsored events, in-class volunteer work, field trip drivers, and volunteers for overnight field trips are required to undergo an Idaho State Department of Education Fingerprint Background Investigation Check. SWS must receive clearance from the Dept of Ed before a volunteer can volunteer with the class.
Please note that ALL visitors, whether volunteering or visiting, must check in at the front office.
To begin the process, please download the Background Packet. Please note the required fingerprint cards could not be scanned into the packet. The cards are available in the main office at SWS.

The Parent Handbook serves as the primary guide for our parent/guardian community, encompassing details on school policies, administrative frameworks, and essential information. We request all parents/guardians to thoroughly peruse this comprehensive document in readiness for the upcoming school year. The Parent Handbook for the 2024-2025 academic session has undergone revisions, and we encourage both new and returning families to acquaint themselves with this latest version.

Volunteering at the Sandpoint Waldorf school is a meaningful way to connect with others, learn new skills, and make a positive impact. We invite you to join us in our mission to provide a holistic education that nurtures the intellectual, creative, and spiritual potential of each student.
Involvement of all parents is necessary for maintaining the health and stability of the school. We ask families to volunteer a minimum of 20 hours per school year to assist the school. Your involvement can take the form of sharing as well as helping with specific projects and classroom activities, collective talents in such areas as committee work, building and grounds maintenance, and fundraising. For more volunteer opportunities please complete our interest form. Click Here
