Bengal Birthdays

  • We love to celebrate birthdays at Boggess!Birthday Celebration

    You may provide treats on your child's birthday or another day if it falls on a weekend or break. *You are not allowed to attend the classroom celebration. If you want to spend extra time with your child on their birthday, consider joining them for lunch.

    All treats must include ingredient lists. Bring treats to the front office and the nurse will check for food restrictions.

    Please send:

    • Enough treats for the entire class
    • Easily divisible treats or small trinkets
    • Individually wrapped snacks, fruit, cookies, cupcakes, muffins, donuts
    • Stickers, pencils, bookmarks

    Please do not send:

    • Homemade treats
    • Treats containing classroom-prohibited ingredients (notice would have been sent to you at the beginning of the year if applicable)
    • Whole desserts such as cakes or pies
    • Treats that require a utensil, such as pudding or ice cream
    • Party balloons 

    *Watchdog dads may join the class celebration if their duty schedule permits.

  • Forgotten Stuff

    If your child forgets to bring something to school, such as a jacket, library book, homework, or water bottle, you are welcome to drop it off at the front office. Parents are not allowed to walk items to their children as this is disruptive to class time. Please ensure the items are clearly marked with your child's and teacher's names.

  • Lunch Delivery

    Only a parent or guardian may deliver a lunch for a student. We do not accept food delivery services for students. If a student's lunch arrives at or after their lunchtime has begun, we cannot guarantee that it will make it to the cafeteria before your child is given a school lunch. We ensure all students receive a meal at lunchtime if one was not provided from home.

  • Dismissal Changes

    Please inform your child's teacher if you make a change to the usual way your child leaves school. Your child will follow their usual route if the teacher does not receive a message. Weather-related changes must be received before 2:30 by the front office staff.

  • Messages

    Each staff member has an email and voicemail that can be found in their directory listing contact page. Please feel free to leave a message; you may expect a reply within 24 school hours. In an emergency, leave a message with the front office staff. Classroom phones are not answered during instruction time.
