BIRTHDAY PARTY REMINDER*
  
If you are hosting a birthday party for your child, please make sure the following is addressed:
  • Consider the needs of our diverse student community and include all students at the event.
  • Provide kosher food.
  • Schedule parties for Sundays (not on Shabbat or on Jewish holidays).
  • Please include all of the students in the class.
  • If you are hosting a single-gender party, include all students of that gender.
  • Akiba's goal as a diverse community is inclusion in celebration and food options.
  • Children discuss these events at school and this may be hurtful to children who were excluded. 
*This policy is outlined in our Parent Handbook.
