Birthdays

A Note About Birthdays at West Rapids
We love celebrating students — but we also work hard to keep the school day safe, inclusive, and focused on learning.

Please remember that school is not the place for birthday parties. Do not send balloons, decorations, flowers, or food of any kind. If you are sending birthday invitations, they must be for the entire class. If they are not, please make arrangements to distribute them outside of school.

We know birthdays are special — my own family even celebrates half-birthdays! — and we want to honor those milestones in a way that supports all students and keeps our classrooms focused on learning.

You can view our full list of non-food birthday treat suggestions and celebration guidelines in the document linked on this page. Thank you for your support in helping us create a positive and respectful school environment for all!
