Reminder for Special Occasions
At Blue Ash Elementary we love celebrating special occasions with your children, and want to ensure that each and every student is safe, healthy and happy. With this in mind we want to take a moment to remind parents regarding the information from the district's Student/Parent Handbook:
“Parents must contact the teacher prior to making any birthday celebration arrangements or bringing in items or snacks to share to be made aware of student allergies and the number of students in a class. Due to student allergies, certain foods, and balloons are not permitted in school or certain classrooms. As an alternative, we ask parents to consider donating an indoor recess game or a book to the Media Center. A special bookplate commemorating the child’s birthday will be added to the book. Invitations to birthday parties outside of school are not to be distributed at school unless the entire class is invited.”
Thank you for helping us keep all of our children safe when celebrating these fun events!
We are so close! Only 7 Kits to go!
