Birthday Policy
Birthdays are very special and exciting days for all of us. It is a time to celebrate “us” with friends and family. As a school, we want to continue recognizing our students’ special day while being sensitive to our District Wellness Policy (https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/policy/pdf/jpgra.pdf), student allergies/intolerances, and financial hardships. With that said, beginning this August, we will be moving away from edible treats for birthdays. Should you choose, you are welcome to send in a small “goodie” bag with non-edibles that can be taken home and monitored by individual families. We will continue to acknowledge all birthdays with a shout-out on the morning announcements and a birthday pencil!
