Birthday Celebrations & Classroom Party Policy
Attention VDV Parents:
To support academic excellence and healthy nutrition, the Vista del Valle Dual Language Academy School Site Council adopted a No Classroom Birthday Party Policy.
Starting 2023-2024, CLASSROOM BIRTHDAY PARTIES ARE NOT ALLOWED.
We will not take instructional minutes away from our students for birthday parties. We will not allow passing out treats at the end of the school day.
Please do NOT bring cupcakes, donuts, sweets, treats, or goodie bags for your child’s class as they are not allowed.
Your child will be recognized on their birthday with a birthday song, a crown (for grades PREK - Kindergarten) and a sticker (for grades 1st - 5th). If your child’s birthday is on a weekend or during a school break, your child will be recognized the day before or after the break.
In accordance with LAUSD’s policy on classroom celebrations, teachers may host a maximum of two classroom parties during the school year. Your teacher will share with you more information regarding the two parties.
Thank you for allowing us to use every minute of the instructional day to focus on teaching and learning!
Atención padres y tutores de VDV:
Para apoyar la excelencia académica y la nutrición saludable, el Consejo Escolar de la Vista del Valle Dual Language Academy adoptó una Póliza de No Celebración de Cumpleaños en el Salón de Clases.
A partir de 2023-2024, NO SE PERMITEN CELEBRACIONES DE CUMPLEAÑOS EN LOS SALONES DE CLASES.
No quitaremos minutos de instrucción a nuestros estudiantes para fiestas de cumpleaños. No permitiremos repartir golosinas al final del día escolar.
Por favor NO traiga pastelitos, donas, dulces, golosinas o bolsas de regalos para la clase de su hijo/a ya que no están permitidos.
Su hijo/a será reconocido en su cumpleaños con una canción de cumpleaños, una corona (para los grados PREK - Kindergarten) y una etiqueta engomada (para los grados 1 - 5). Si el cumpleaños de su hijo/a es en un fin de semana o durante las vacaciones escolares, su hijo/a será reconocido el día antes o después de las vacaciones.
De acuerdo con la póliza de LAUSD sobre las celebraciones en el salón de clases, los maestros pueden organizar un máximo de dos fiestas en el salón de clases durante el año escolar. Su maestro compartirá con usted más información sobre las dos fiestas.
Gracias por permitirnos aprovechar cada minuto de la hora de clase para enfocarnos en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje.
Cellular Telephone use by Students
It is the policy of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) to prohibit the use of cellular phones or any electronic signaling device by students on campus during normal school hours. Students are permitted to possess cellular phones, pagers, or electronic signaling devices on campus provided that any such device shall remain “off” and stored in a locker, backpack, purse, pocket, or other place where it is not visible during normal school hours. Students are permitted to use cellular phones, pagers, or electronic signaling devices on campus before and after school or during school activities that occur outside of school hours. For District, state and national assessments, students are prohibited access to any unauthorized electronic devices at any time during the entire testing session. Students must comply anytime a request is made by school personnel to cease the use of a cellular telephone, pager or other signaling device even before or after school. Schools may adopt more stringent cellular phone policies through the School Site Council. Cell phone use on the school bus is for emergency purposes only; driver authorization is required. For more information you may call (800) 522-8737. The District is not responsible for lost or stolen cellular telephones or other personal items of value such as iPods, cameras, electronic games, radios, CD players, computers, etc.
Personal Property of Students
Personal items of value (cell phones, iPods, cameras, electronic games, radios, CD players, computers, etc.) should not be brought to school since loss, theft, or damage is possible. Also, such items can be distracting to the educational process and may be confiscated by school personnel. The School/District is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
