Parties

The preservation of instructional time is very important. Although we realize that teaching children social skills is also a part of our job, we must not allow the opportunities for class parties and non-instructional activities to overshadow our true reason for being educators. Only three parties are allowed per year. They will be held the last day before the winter holiday, Valentine’s Day and the Last Week of School. The Better Seeking Team will select the best 45 minutes between 11:30 and 2:00 for the grade level party. These times will be sent to the parents in advance by the grade level teachers and will be posted on the monthly calendar. Birthday parties are not permitted. Parents will need to contact the classroom teacher if they would like to send a special store bought snack. Only clear beverages will be permitted in carpeted areas of the building. The nutrition department doesn't allow for birthday treats to be given out in the cafeteria. This must happen during the 15min recess period.
