Classroom Parties
This year, we are asking for 6 parent volunteers per class for class parties. These will be the only visitors allowed in for parties. No siblings are allowed at class parties.
We want the experience to be positive for all of our students, so limiting the number of parents in a room will help manage space and ensure that the focus stays on the students in the class.
There is a sign-up to volunteer for the Winter class party. Please note, priority for the next party will be given to families who have not yet volunteered.
