Having game expectations at recess is important for several reasons:

1. Promotes Fair Play: Expectations ensure that everyone has a clear understanding of how the game should be played, which helps prevent disagreements and promotes fairness. This encourages children to play together harmoniously.

2. Safety: Expectations often include guidelines that keep children safe, such as no rough play or limits on certain actions. This reduces the risk of injuries and ensures that everyone can enjoy recess without getting hurt.

3. Teaches Accountability: Following expectations teaches children about accountability and the importance of adhering to agreed-upon guidelines. It helps them understand the consequences of their actions if they don’t meet the expectations.

4. Encourages Inclusion: Clear expectations make it easier for all children to participate, including those who might not be familiar with the game. This ensures that everyone feels included and can enjoy recess together.

5. Enhances Enjoyment: When everyone understands and meets the expectations, games tend to be more organized and enjoyable. This leads to a more positive experience for all participants.

Having game expectations at recess helps create a structured and enjoyable environment where children can learn, play, and grow together. The following graphics show our new gameplay expectations for recess.

We utilize the Pik My Kid app during dismissal and to communicate absences. If you are unfamiliar with Pik My Kid, you are strongly encouraged to review the content link below. If you don't have the app, please visit your app store and find the free download. [Please note: dismissal is a process that will grow in efficiency each day. Each year we have new teacher, students, and families that need a few days to learn the routines. Thanks for offer everyone some grace! ]
