Please Wear Warm Clothes on Cold Days
It's important for students to be ready for outdoor play. If students do not have the cold weather gear, they are asked to stay on the blacktop. If too many kids are on the blacktop, we may have to transition to indoor recess as a social distance safety precaution. Your help in this matter is very appreciated.
