1st Step: Attend a Parent Info Meeting (PIM):
All parents and/or guardians interested in enrolling a child into Yuba River Charter School or Little Creek Nursery program are invited to attend one of our Parent Information Meetings (PIMs). Attending a PIM is required before receiving an Application for Enrollment in all programs. During this meeting you will learn about the history of Yuba River Charter School, the philosophy and educational approach of a public Waldorf curriculum, the operational structure of YRCS, as well as enjoy a guided tour of our classrooms as you see the teachers and students engaged in daily activities.
- Please visit the appropriate K-8 Enrollment page or the Nursery/Preschool Enrollment for a calendar of upcoming Parent Information Meetings.
YRCS accepts and serves all students, including students who are English learners and whose parents/guardians are not proficient in English. Further, YRCS will use information families provide about their English proficiency only to identify services for the student and it will not affect enrollment eligibility. YRCS welcomes non-U.S. citizens, students with disabilities, low-income students, and students who are struggling academically or require additional academic supports. YRCS uses a public random drawing “lottery” for enrolling students and only turns away students when there are no seats available. For concerns regarding our school’s Title IX compliance, contact Karin Meadows, karin@yubariverschool.org, 530-272-6060 x106.
