 Back to School Night (BSN)

Please meet with your class teacher briefly before Back to School Night and ask if they would like assistance in any activities/parties other than the standard ones listed below [see Class Parties]. At BSN, you should put out sign-up sheets (you will be given sheets) that indicate where volunteers are needed. For each party/activity, you’ll need a volunteer to provide one healthy treat, one sweet treat, and napkins.   Give a copy of the completed sign-up sheet to the teacher.

Class Parties

The class parents coordinate parties for: Halloween, Winter Holiday, and Valentine’s Day. Parties are held in the afternoon prior to dismissal. Time is usually coordinated with the teacher. You are responsible for reminding parents listed on your sign-up sheet to bring in their item the day of the party. Two class parents are expected to be in the classroom for each party to help set up, serve and clean up. (Some teachers may wish to have the students assist).

  • Please communicate to all parents the food policies contained in the Byrd Parent Hub.
  • Younger siblings are not allowed to attend the class parties without permission from the classroom teacher
  • Please read guidelines for peanut/tree nut free treats

Class Trips

Two class parents are requested to accompany their class on the all-day field trip. Specific details will be provided by the teacher closer to the date of the trip. (Sorry, no siblings are permitted on class trips.)
