Our weather is constantly changing. Please make sure your student(s) are prepared for outdoor recess daily, according to the weather. Please provide appropriate outerwear.
This may include:
*Spring or possibly winter coats
*Hats
*Scarves
*Mittens/Gloves
*Boots
*Snowpants
All students are expected to go outside for recess except if they have a medical reason from your healthcare provider that is documented in writing.
Students are asked to have a change of clothes in their backpack in case of a spill or accident.
The following is our District Policy regarding recess. This is found online in the Student Handbook.
Because of the variability of temperature and other factors (i.e., sunny day or overcast day), the wind chill index is not the only criterion used to determine whether or not children go outdoors for recess. The children will not go outside for recess when the temperature is zero or below. When the temperature is above zero, elementary school personnel will make the decision whether or not to go outside at recess. All students are expected to go outside for recess and, therefore, need to dress appropriately. If a child is well enough to be in school, unless they have a written statement from a physician, the expectation is that they will participate in outdoor recess.
Please feel free to contact the office with any questions/concerns. 269-565-4500.
