3.6. Birthday Celebrations and Party Invitations

Birthday celebrations are encouraged at CHCA—we want students to know they are special!

On-Campus Parties:

Students may have a small in-class birthday celebration following these guidelines:

• The teacher pre-approves the date, time, length, food and activities.
• Celebrations may last a maximum of 15 minutes.
• Before sending in any food, check with the teacher to see if there are any students who have allergies.
• Latex balloons may not to be used or distributed during the party. Mylar balloons may only be taken home by students who do not ride a bus.
  

Off Campus Parties

• Can only be scheduled in hours after school.
• Invitations may only be distributed at school for off-campus socials or parties if the entire homeroom/class or all of one gender are invited.
• If parents are planning a large group party outside of school and the attendees are solely from one homeroom, we encourage parents to invite all class members.
• Students going directly to a birthday party from school are required to have a written parent note. The party host is responsible to collect the written notes and present them to the office 24 hours in advance. Student(s) without a note will not be permitted to go directly to the party.
