Birthday “parties” are not given in the classroom. In the event parents/guardians wish to provide birthday treats for the class/classroom, items such as pencils or stickers for students, or donating a book or game to the classroom, are acceptable (food items for any classroom celebration are not allowed). Dispersing treats is expected to take minimal time away from classroom instruction. In addition, the teachers are not responsible for handing out birthday party invitations or sending email invites/RSVP reminders to the entire class. Thank you for respecting these guidelines.
