Dressing for Outdoor Recess
In IPSD 204, elementary school outdoor recess is held when the temperature is 5 Degrees and Above (including the wind chill). Please make sure that your children are dressed appropriately for the weather and have their coats, hats, and gloves with them at school. Students go outside for a 30 minute recess everyday.
Kindergarten & 1st: If there is snow in the field, kindergarten and first grade students are required to wear snowpants to play in the snow filled field.
2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th: Snowpants are highly encouraged but not required for 2nd-5th grade students who play in the snowy field. However, please note that the nurse's office does not have clothing available for 2nd-5th grade students who play in the field and get wet due to not wearing snow pants.
Student Illness Reminders
When children are not feeling well, please remember that students need to be fever, vomit, or diarrhea free, without assistance from medication, for 24 hours before returning to school.
Please contact the nurse, Mrs. Ashley Hetzel, ashley_hetzel@ipsd.org if you have any questions.
