Birthdays
At QAE we want to acknowledge birthdays but we don't want to miss out on valuable class time. So, our policy this year is NO treats of gifts. Instead, our celebration will include a song (the style of the student's liking) and birthday wishes (students will all write a compliment to the birthday student). We will celebrate summer birthdays towards the end of the school year.
In addition, students are encouraged to bring a book to share with the class. It could be a book they would like to donate or one to be read out loud (by student or teacher). Ideally, I would know this is happening before the birthday so I can schedule the time to do so.

Holidays
We have also decided to limit holiday celebrations to Halloween and Valentines Day. These celebrations will be planned by our class coordinator based on the teacher's request.
Please adhere to these limitations to support the best interest of our students and staff.
