BIRTHDAY

We will announce birthdays every morning on the PA. If you would like your child to be excluded from this recognition, please inform the office prior to the birthday.

 

 

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

With a minimum of 24-hour notice and teacher’s approval, you may bring store purchased individually packaged food or goodie bags to share with your child’s classmates during the last 5 minutes of the school day.  PLEASE DO NOT SHOW UP THE DAY OF YOUR CHILD’S BIRTHDAY UNANNOUNCED WITHOUT HAVING MADE PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE TEACHER WITH THE EXPECTATION TO CELEBRATE OR VISIT THE CLASSROOM. While your child’s birthday is very important, so are the instructional minutes for all the students. No home-made food can be distributed.  If making goodie bags, do not include candies, chips or anything with nuts.  Healthy snacks and school supplies are recommended.

 

In summary

    • 24-hour’s notice and pre-approval required
    • store purchased, individually packaged goods only (beware of student allergies)
    • no celebration before school, during recess, lunch, or instructional day
    • no pizza party
