Birthdays

If you would like to send a birthday gift/treat for your child's class, arrangements must be made with the classroom teacher at least two days in advance. We strongly encourage families to bring non-food items to celebrate (please consider goody bags with pencils, erasers, stickers, etc.). Any food treats will need to be in accordance with our school and district allergy response plan. Balloons, presents, etc. should be presented to the child at home, as valuable learning time is lost when classrooms are interrupted. Balloons and presents will not be delivered to the classroom. Families are encouraged to use the Ophir Family Directory to distribute and send out birthday party invitations from home. Invitations will not be distributed at school.
