Winter Weather Reminders
As we move into the colder months, we want to remind everyone about the importance of dressing children appropriately for outdoor recess. To ensure that all students are comfortable and safe, please send your child to school with appropriate clothing for the weather, including:
- Coats/Jackets
- Hats
- Gloves/Mittens
- Scarves
- Boots (if the weather is snowy or wet)
- Layers to stay warm
We will be following the PA Child Care Weather Watch guidelines to determine whether it is safe for children to go outside for recess. These guidelines take into account factors such as temperature, wind chill, and other weather conditions.
Please be sure your child is dressed warmly enough to enjoy their time outside, as outdoor recess will be held unless the weather conditions suggest otherwise.

Consider Tax-Deductible Contribution to the CBSD Education Foundation
As we approach the end of the year, the Central Bucks School District Education Foundation invites you to consider making a tax-deductible investment in education. Right now, teachers from schools across the district are submitting grants for programs that directly enhance the learning experiences of your children. Your generous donation will help make this a reality. Every contribution, big or small, helps CBSD educators invest in innovative classroom projects and resources. You can choose to make a gift in honor of a special teacher or student, and we will share that acknowledgement with them. To donate, visit https://cbeducationfoundation.org and email Jackie@cbeducationfoundation.org with any questions.
