The school asks that birthday party or other types of private invitations not be delivered or distributed at the school. This rule is in place to help avoid hurt feelings among students and to help prevent disruption to the learning environment.​​ (You can read more about this rule and general birthday information in the Sato Student/Family Handbook.)
