Celebrating your child's birthday in Primary school

For the remainder of this year and moving into next year, we would like to remind families to be mindful of a few things pertaining to celebrating your child's birthday. We are including some guidelines around birthday celebrations here at AISL in the Primary School, which will be included in next year's Family Handbook. 

​​To celebrate your child’s birthday at school, parents may send a birthday snack to school to share with the class during a time pre-arranged with the class teacher. This is not a party! Please limit your celebration to a cake or small snack; no balloons or goody bags. As some of our students have allergies to specific foods, please make sure to ask your child’s teacher what ingredients must be avoided so that all students can enjoy the birthday treat.

Birthday party invitations may be distributed at school only if all the children in the class are invited or all the children of one gender are invited. We ask parents and students to be mindful that we are an inclusive school and to please take that into consideration when creating the guest list and/or talking about an upcoming birthday party in class.
