• Birthday Celebrations

    We recognize the joy and excitement that birthdays can bring. In order to keep an instructional focus during the school day, parameters have been established so that the students can have an enjoyable celebration in their classrooms. This practice has been instituted because the staff and administration recognize the importance of instructional time and do not wish to disrupt it. Therefore, the following guidelines have been established: 

    We do not hold traditional birthday celebrations, and food/goody bags are not allowed.  However, parents are encouraged to arrange with their child’s teacher to be a guest reader. 

    Children may NOT distribute birthday party invitations at school unless every child in class receives one. The classroom teacher should be consulted first.
