Please make sure your child is arriving at school in weather appropriate attire that is labeled with their name (so we can return it to them if it is left out at recess). We try to go outside as much as we can for recess even in the cold and light rain. Even when your students are running around outside, it tends to be very windy and can be cold at recess. Jackets and coats are encouraged everyday.
