Just have a party outside of school.

Our school does not allow any sort of celebration of birthday within school. No food and no goodie bags etc....

Are you not having a bday party outside of school for this child?

I’d skip ..

Please ask the teacher first.

We were never allowed to do this at our ES from K-6. End of story.

OP- check with the teacher 1st

What about single serving size bags of dried apples and or strawberries? My kids love those. I get them at Sams or Aldi's.

Depends on the school, ours has "birthday club" at the end of the month for the kids with a birthday that month and the vast majority of kids/parents bring in treats for it all the way through 5th grade.

Donate a boardgame to the class

NP - this still happens at our school but it must be packaged and allergy free. DD brings frozen lemonade cups and keeps them in the school freezer. Obviously you'll need permission.

Packaged rice crispy treats are the other allergy friendly option.

Don't bring toys, keychains, etc.

Ask for teachers permission first, a board game or a book for class library could be a nice option.

Are you even allowed to? Our school stopped allowing it.

I think you can stop now. I don’t think anyone brought items in after first or second grade.

Case of Monster

My girls has birthday next week and I want to bring something to her classmates. I don't want the candy or any chocolates because we just have had Halloween yesterday. Any ideas? There are about 26 kids in her classroom.
