DISTRICT BIRTHDAY POLICY

No edible form of treats will be accepted from an outside source for in-school birthday celebrations.  Parents may send in non-food treats, such as pens/pencils, erasers, stickers, etc.  Parents also have the option to order a birthday bag from our Food Services Department. 

BIRTHDAY BAG ORDER FORM

Please Note:  The birthday bag order form should be submitted to the Food Services Department at least one week prior to the birthday.


 

PARENT DROP-OFF & PICK-UP PROCEDURE

Please be reminded of our parent drop-off & pick-up procedure as follows:

Cars enter through the Mauch Chunk Road parking lot and loop around to the front stairway where your child will be greeted by a staff member and exit the car.  Please form two lanes as you enter the parking lot and merge into one lane as you approach the side of the building.  Do not turn right when you enter the parking lot.   This will help to keep the car line from backing up onto Mauch Road and causing traffic congestion.  Be careful when merging to one lane and be courteous of other cars.
