DWS COVID Task Force
The Denver Waldorf School’s COVID task force meets regularly to discuss and plan for the impacts of COVID-19 on our school and programs. The task force monitors and implements local guidance from DDPHE (Denver Department of Public Health and Environment), CDPHE (Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment), CDE (Colorado Department of Education), and Colorado Public Health and Executive Orders. Supplemental guidance is considered from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and our accrediting agencies, ACIS (Association of Colorado Independent Schools) and AWSNA (Association of Waldorf Schools of North America).
