Birthdays

If a student would like to celebrate his/her birthday at school, please contact the teacher one week in advance to make arrangements. The only food treats allowed for birthday celebrations are non-dairy ice pops. The pops must be brought in the original packaging so a staff member can check the food label prior to serving them to students. The birthday student's name and grade level should be written clearly on the box.

In consideration of all families and to maintain classroom order, please do not send decorations (i.e. balloons, streamers, etc.). We also encourage alternative non-food treats such as bouncy balls, pencils, stickers, bubbles, etc. as a way to celebrate a birthday.

Party invitations should not be handed out at school unless every child in the class is receiving one. If your son or daughter is having a party for only the boys or only the girls in the class, then party invitations may be distributed as long as every boy or girl is invited.

Other invitations that may include baptisms, pot lucks, etc. should not be distributed in school unless the entire class of students is invited.
