Birthdays\/Special Occasions – No food or treats at school please!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please plan to celebrate your child’s birthday with treats or food at home. Brookvale Elementary School does not allow food or treats to be brought into the school setting for birthday recognitions or special celebrations. Many of our students have severe food allergies and cannot eat a variety of foods which contain, but are not limited to, wheat, peanuts, eggs, milk, soy, or fish. Diabetic students are also on a strict diet as well. If you wish to have your child’s birthday acknowledged, please contact your child’s teacher to facilitate some type of recognition that does not involve food or edibles<\/strong>. Treat bags, pencils, stickers, erasers, a ball donated to the classroom etc are well received by students. We have included a list of acceptable items to be brought to school or that allows students to participate in if celebrations do take place during school hours. (See list below)<\/p>\n

We will be unable to accommodate your requests to pass out treats, balloons, invitations or presents. Throughout the school year, teachers may elect to use food type products to teach specific lessons in the classroom. Those supplies will only be brought into the school by the teaching staff in order to monitor those ingredients used during instructional time. Those instructional activities that involve food such as STEM projects etc, will not be consumed by students. \u00a0The only food that will be consumed by students during the day is food retrieved by students from the cafeteria or food they have brought from home for brunch and lunch.<\/p>\n

Note: \u00a0Brookvale will be participating in the FUSD before school breakfast program next school year. \u00a0More information will be coming out about how to have your child participate in this program.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you for understanding our new policy for the school year. \u00a0Our policy helps to keep ALL of our kids safe!<\/strong><\/p>\n
