OUTDOOR RECESS REMINDERS:
Please remember that students go outside in winter weather when temperatures and windchill are at or above 20 degrees Fahrenheit. This often means students in earlier recesses may not go out, but by mid-day, temperatures may have risen to allow later recesses to go out.
Please also keep in mind that there may be days when the temperature is appropriate but the playground conditions are not safe due to snow or ice.
All students should be dressed for cold weather in case their grade level is able to be outside. Label coats, hats, gloves/mittens, etc. with your child's name in case they are misplaced.
