Inclement weather

In the event school needs to be canceled you will get an all call/email from the Superintendent. 

In the event of a 2 hour delay our morning session of preschool would be canceled. Early dismissal would mean that the afternoon session of preschool would be canceled. 

**Every effort to play outside will be made everyday! Because our weather can be so unpredictable, where to drop off and pick up can change on the drop of a dime. Your understanding and flexibility are appreciated.  Children should come to school prepared/dressed for all weather. Layers are best for comfort inside and outside. 

Winter:  We follow the Weather Underground app and try to get outside if the "feels like" temperature is at least 27 degrees for Quin Station, Jefferson Ma. (there can sometimes be a 8-10 degree variance depending on what location you search, Quin Station is closest to us) Please label your children's snow items and have a second bag (reusable shopping bags work good) so backpacks are not overstuffed. Cubbies are close and boots, hats, and mittens are easily scattered. Unless, your child is independent putting on gloves mittens are best (please and thank you) If your child wears boots to school please send a change of shoes in their bag to change into for comfort and the cleanliness of the classroom.  

Spring/Summer: Sunscreen and/or bug spray should be applied, if desired, prior to attending school. Sandals, crocs, and flip flops are tough for the playground because of the wood chips. 

Temperature alone doesn't determine whether we play outside, wind chill, accessibility to the playground, wetness, ice, bugs, shade, humidity, and safety are all considered by the principal/teachers.
