Birthdays are a wonderful and exciting time for every child. We are happy to have your child recognize and celebrate this special day with their classmates at SJA. But in celebrating your child's birthdays we do ask for the policies on birthday celebrations be recognized and followed.
SJA Birthday Celebration Policy
- Families may choose to send an item in to the school to be used to celebrate their child's birthday
- We request that food items are not sent to school to celebrate a birthday during the school day (e.g cake, cupcakes, cookies, etc.). This is due to the communal area that food and snacks are consumed, and based on the school's anaphylactic policy.
Some suggestions of ways to celebrate (if you choose to do so)...
- Send a 'loot bag' to celebrate your child's birthday. We are happy to send that home with their classmates to be opened at home.
- Purchase a book from your local book store that your child can bring with them on their birthday. This book could be purchased for your child's class and be the Birthday Book that is read in their honour instead of purchasing a food item. It would remain at the school in the SJA library with your child's name forever inscribed.
- Contact the school to rent the multi-purpose room at the end of the school day for a birthday party to be held at the school.
We thank you for your help in maintaining a safe and healthy school and for abiding by the 'no food items' policy for students' birthday
