Wow - it was quite cold out this week! I just wanted to share the information with you in our Parent/Student Handbook about our daily recess - provided this cold spell does not end soon! Thank you for bundling your kiddos up. We know the cold can be quite biting when waiting for the bus outside.
Recess Information:
Weather permitting, students go outside for recess every day. In winter the temperature and wind chill and weather conditions will be monitored throughout the morning. The weather website and playground will be checked and outside supervisors consulted to determine whether conditions are appropriate for children's outdoor recess. When the temperature or wind chill is below zero degrees, students will be kept inside for recess. When the temperature or wind chill is 0–10 degrees, students may go outside for a shortened recess period. If a student has a doctor's note or a medical condition, he or she may stay inside in the building office for recess.
