Birthday Treat Guidelines
Because of food and labor shortages, our Nutrition Services department can no longer provide birthday treats.
We will start allowing families to send birthday treats if they want to do so, as long as they come from our list of treats that contain none of the major allergens.
Please bring birthday treats ahead of time (two hours after the start of school, at the latest).
Thank you for understanding that all classroom treats must come from this list, because we do not have the staff capacity to check for allergens that could threaten the health of some students.
