Welcome from Principal Kat McFee
Dear Students and Families,
Welcome to Valley Vista Public Waldorf School! We are honored to be serving the students and families of the Petaluma region as the newest elementary school in PCS. All aspects of our TK-8 program are founded on a modern understanding of child development that meets the holistic needs of these children, in this time, in this place.
The intellectual, physical, emotional, social, cultural, moral, and spiritual facets of our students are central considerations in designing and delivering lessons, as well as in celebrating events and festivals. Our curriculum strengthens the thinking (academic), feeling (social emotional), and willing (self-efficacy) of our students—while cultivating a lifelong interest in the world. When self-awareness and competence unite with a sense of justice, intentions for social change transform into realities.
Equitable access is foundational in our TK-8 educational experience. This is realized through healthy relationships and culturally relevant practices. We believe that all students have the right to a Waldorf education that cultivates a young human being’s inherent sense of truth, beauty, and goodness. We welcome our students’ gifts and creative potential into the Valley Vista Public Waldorf School TK-8 journey.
Warmly,
Kat McFee
Principal, Valley Vista Public Waldorf
