With the recent arrival of snow, we’d like to take a moment to remind you of our winter recess policy. All students will be participating in a daily 20 minute outdoor recess when the temperature is at least 20 degrees, including wind chill. If staff finds that the weather is uncomfortably cold once they are outside, children will be brought back into the building. As a school, we believe it is very important for students to get outside for exercise and fresh air in order to be ready to learn for the afternoon.
Please make every effort to ensure that students are prepared with the proper clothing for recess. We do have a limited supply of boots, snow pants, hats and mittens that can be loaned out to students if needed. Our goal is also to make the students responsible for themselves in making sure that they are prepared for school.
Students are required to have boots and snow pants on in order to play in the snow. For safety reasons, if students are not wearing boots, they can play on an area of the blacktop that has been cleared of snow.
Thank you for your cooperation.
