Cold Weather & Recess

We will go outside for recess every day unless the temperature with the wind chill is below 17 degrees or if we are getting considerable precipitation. Please make sure your child is prepared to play outside every single day. Snow will not stop students from going outside for recess. If your child chooses to play in the snow without snow boots, they will call you from the office to bring them new shoes and socks. We do not have extras in the health office to give out.

The following dress is expected during cold weather:

• We expect that children dress appropriately for the weather.
• During wet or snowy weather, children are asked to wear boots.
• Cap/ear coverings, mittens or gloves, and coats with working snaps, buttons, or zippers.
• Caps/stocking hats may be worn to school, but are to be removed at the door by students and adults entering the building.

If you need assistance in providing proper gear for your child, please reach out.
