The purpose of the Family Council is to develop community and to facilitate parental involvement in the school’s life and culture. This organization includes all parents and other family members of students attending Peace Valley Charter School. The Family Council consists of a parent coordinator for each class and other members who wish to participate. Monthly meetings provide a means for families to be informed of and involved in festivals, fundraisers, staff appreciation, new family support, and other activities as needed. Peace Valley’s Family Council meets monthly to plan and coordinate efforts to involve families in a vibrant school community. If you'd like to get in touch with the Family Council organizers, you can email familycouncil@boisewaldorf.org.

Peace Valley classes are held 5 days a week Monday through Friday. Thursday is an early release day for students. Faculty use the extra hours for professional development and committee work.

Peace Valley Charter has contracted with Brown Bus Company for transportation services. If you are interested in your child riding the school bus as a regular means of transportation to and from school and you haven't already filled out a form, please contact Brown Bus at s.aragon@brownbuscompany.com with your Transportation Form. The eligibility of applications will be verified by Brown Bus upon receipt.

Students who live within Peace Valley’s enrollment boundary will be given priority during the route design process. Our buses run mornings and afternoons for the whole school at once - midday busing is not possible at this time. The bus will not go door to door but will pick up children from safe designated group pickup points (chosen by Brown Bus Company) within our attendance area.

Parents are responsible for the safety of their children before they get on the bus and once they are dropped off. Kindergarten children must have a parent or authorized person to meet them at the bus door, or they will be kept on the bus and returned to the school. Any questions regarding bus times or routes should be directed to Brown Bus Company.

Peace Valley uses high-quality natural artistic tools and materials in our classes, and we provide uniform supplies for all of our students. Rather than distributing a supply list, we give each child the supplies they need each year to ensure uniformity in color, quality, and quantity. We manage school supplies this way in part because Waldorf materials are hard to find and more expensive than traditional school supplies when purchased independently. As a school, we receive a discount when purchasing these supplies in bulk, however they are still quite expensive. Because of this, we ask for (optional) donations to help us cover these costs. The Annual Donation Form has suggested donations amounts, but any amount is welcome.

Donations can be made at any time and can be broken into several smaller payments if necessary. Money donated is tax-deductible and helps to cover the purchase of main lesson books (in lieu of textbooks), watercolor paper, beeswax block and stick crayons, modeling beeswax and clay, colored pencils, watercolor paints, brushes, calligraphy pens and paper, knitting yarn, raw wool, Eurythmy shoes, and more.

Any amount donated will assist us with our school supplies for the year. Students will receive materials needed regardless of donations received. You can donate via PayPal, cash, or check. Checks can be made out to Peace Valley Charter School, and can be dropped off in the front office or mailed to PVCS, 1845 S Federal Way, Boise, ID 83705.
