- Please send your child with a coat, hat, gloves to stay warm while outside.
- When there is snow, only students with correct gear (pants, gloves, boots) will be permitted to play in the snow.
- If students wear boots to school, they must have a pair of sneakers to change in to for P.E.
- On days when the temperature is too cold for outdoor recess, students will have indoor recess.
