Birthday Lists at Rylander 🎂🎁🎈
Since birthday invitations are not allowed to be distributed at school,. the PTA has created a birthday list for each class in order to give families access to classmates' contact information. Only families who sign up to be on the birthday list will be granted access to it. The birthday list will also be used by homeroom parents to keep families up to date on the exciting events and happenings in each classroom.
