Dear OMS families,
Is spring on its way? It certainly felt like it this week! We were thankful for a relatively quiet week here at the nest.
One topic we want to make you aware of is that as the snow melts and the ground begins to thaw we will have to close our fields during recess. When the fields are closed, the classrooms that are assigned to field zones will remain inside for indoor recess. We may utilize the west playground by Arlington Heights Road, but that will depend on recess supervision, and only two classes can be on that playground in order to maintain appropriate social distancing. Students will still be able to go outside to enjoy the fresh air with their classrooms during morning or afternoon recess. We will also encourage our teachers to take a few extra outside mask breaks on days when classes have indoor lunch recess due to field closure.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Erin and Julia
P.S. Kids must wear coats unless the temperature is above 50 degrees. Please continue to send your child to school with a coat. We never know when the temps might dip back down.
