Birthday Treats at School - Friendly Reminder

As a reminder, and as outlined in the Eader Student Handbook (which is reviewed during annual data confirmation), we kindly ask that families not send food or treats to school for student birthdays.

While we truly appreciate the thoughtful sentiment behind birthday celebrations, this guideline is in place to:

• Be respectful of students with food allergies or dietary restrictions

• Be respectful and inclusive of students, as well as families who may not think to - or be able send treats

• Help classrooms stay focused on learning and instruction

• Maintain consistency with schoolwide expectations and routines

I have reminded and requested that teachers not allow birthday treats at school, and I would truly appreciate your help in supporting this expectation by not sending them.

When treats arrive, it places teachers in a difficult position - wanting to honor a student’s special day and not disappoint them, while also needing to follow a schoolwide rule. Your support helps us avoid that situation and ensures consistency for all students.

Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and continued support of our staff and school community.



Reporting Student Attendance

If your child will be absent, please remember to notify the school by either calling our attendance line at (714) 962-2451 and leaving a message, or by emailing eaderattendance@hbcsd.us

Reporting absences promptly helps us keep accurate records, ensure student safety, and maintain clear communication between home and school.

Thank you for your support and partnership.

Parent Education Series

HBCSD invites families to participate in our 2025–26 Parent Education Series, a three-part workshop series designed to support your child’s academic success and future readiness.

Sessions focus on family involvement, understanding academic progress, and building college and career readiness, with both virtual and in-person options available. Families are welcome to attend one or more sessions based on their interests and needs.





Parking Lot Safety & Efficiency


With only a single lane entering and exiting our school parking lot, please keep in mind that one car has the ability to severely impact and hold up the entire line. To help keep traffic moving and ensure safety:

• Please have your child prepared to leave the vehicle safely and quickly on the curbside (school side).

• Stay in your car at all times.

• Pull up as far as you can, even past the gate, so the maximum number of cars can unload along the curb.

• Do not pull in front of other cars if there is a hold up.

• Safety is always our top priority—thank you for your support.

Additional reminders:

• Please drive carefully and observe all traffic safety signs and speed limits around the school.

• When leaving the parking lot, right turns only are permitted.

• Do not park or leave your vehicle in any area marked with a red curb.

• Children should always enter and exit vehicles from the curbside only.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in keeping our students safe and supporting the smooth flow of traffic in our Eader community.
