Principal's Message
BRRRRR!! What a cold week it was! We were forced inside for before-school recess every day this week, but were able to get outside by lunchtime most days.
Remember the school policy for inside recess is if temperatures are below 20 degrees. It is important for students to get fresh air every day, so unless the temperature is below 20 degrees, or there is consistent rain, students will be outside for recess every day. Please make sure to have students come with appropriate clothing for going outside, and to remind students to check lost and found frequently for clothes that may have been left in the gym or on the playground!
It looks like the weather may warm up a little next week, let's keep our fingers crossed!!
