Birthday Parties

CELEBRATIONS IN SCHOOL

We love birthdays and have a wonderful time celebrating with your child in school. We encourage families to join us for the party and teachers will be thrilled to work with your schedule to agree on a time for the “big event”. Please consult with the teacher before bringing in any food to class to make sure it both complies with the Kashrut policy and is allergy sensitive.

No latex balloons may be brought into the school.

CELEBRATIONS OUT OF SCHOOL

It is important that, when planning a party or celebration, careful consideration be given to include everyone. Therefore, we request that all birthday parties that occur out of school be planned with Kashrut in mind, so as not to exclude any of our children who have different levels of observance.

Our goal at Beth Tfiloh is to ensure that every child, whatever his/her background, be comfortable at our school and feel an important part of the Beth Tfiloh family. We ask that you not have birthday parties on either Shabbat or Chagim (Jewish Holidays) so as not to exclude those children who are Shabbat observant.

In addition, to further convey care for the feelings of others, the teachers will NOT distribute invitations in school. Do not distribute invitations in school. Please send them in the mail.
