School birthdays
Birthday Parties
Students love to celebrate birthdays at school, as it is a memorable time to share with teachers
and friends. In an effort to foster a healthy environment, minimize food allergy exposures, and
maximize student instructional time, students are not allowed to bring in food items for birthday
celebrations.
We suggest the below option list for ideas honoring your student on his/her special day:
● Donate a book or game to the classroom in honor of your student.
● Have your child bring his/her favorite book to share.
● Donate a ball or jump rope (new or used) to the classroom for recess.
● Send in simple goodie bags for the class with safe items (pencils, stickers, bubbles, etc).
● Have your child choose a favorite song or musical piece to sing or play for the class.
● Send in supplies and directions for a classroom craft.
● Send in something that classmates can sign as a birthday treat (shirt/sweatshirt, tote bag,
autograph stuffed animal, pillow case, etc.).

Please keep in mind these additional guidelines:
● No candles or noisemakers are allowed.
● If you are planning a party to celebrate your child’s birthday outside of school, please
send these invitations through the mail directly to the students’ home. Due to privacy
laws, front office personnel and teachers cannot share student addresses or phone
numbers.
● Parents should coordinate a day to celebrate with their child’s teacher.
● Students with summer birthdays are encouraged to celebrate their half birthday.
