Recess Guidelines


Recess in the winter can be a lot of fun, especially when students are dressed appropriately! Please make sure your child has a warm coat, snow pants, boots, mittens or gloves. We do have a limited supply of hats and gloves, but we do not provide snow pants or boots.


Riley Elementary adheres to the following district-wide guidelines:
* If the temperature or wind chill (temperature/wind chill = “feels like”) is 0 degrees or below, students will be inside for recess.
* Students may only be excused from outdoor recess with a signed doctor’s note. If your child is well enough to come to school, he/she is well enough to go to recess.

*Students must have appropriate snow gear/boots to leave the blacktop area.

Announcement from Food Service

Don't forget that we provide breakfast in the morning!!! Free Breakfast is served daily!

Healthy Habits to Help Students Succeed

Some helpful tips and routines to help our students succeed in the classroom:


  • Set a bedtime and create healthy bedtime habits
    • Kids age 6-12 are recommended to get 9-12 hours of sleep per day.
    • It is recommended that there is at least an hour break from screens prior to going to sleep
    • Try reading a book before bed instead
  • Eating breakfast helps in the classroom
    • Breakfast eaters have better brain function, memory and attention.
    • Eating breakfast improves kids' performance on vocabulary tests, math problems and challenging mental tasks.
    • It also helps them deal better with frustration
