As the weather is getting colder, we want to remind families to make sure that children are dressed appropriately before heading to school each day. Our Minnesota weather can change at a moment’s notice, and students need to be prepared for the changes. At the middle school level, students will be sent outside for a 20 minute recess during their lunch period each day unless;
- The outside temperature and/or wind chill is 5 degrees or below.
- It is pouring rain.
- It is snowing heavily.
5th grade students have a 10 minute recess later in the day as well. Please help your child remember to wear a coat, hat, and gloves so they can be comfortable and enjoy their time outside at recess during the cold weather. Our hope is that every student at Middle School East will be prepared for the cold winter ahead, and we thank you for doing your part at home to make sure that happens.
