Winter is here in Maine
Winter is here in Maine
This is a reminder to make sure your students are dressed warmly for winter temperatures in Maine. Students have a 25-minute recess period daily. Teachers may also take children outside for regular breaks.
Temperature is checked by going to www.weather.com and putting in the Gorham zip code. The actual temperature will appear as well as the "feels like" temperature. If it "feels like" 10 degrees or above, students will go out.
When there is snow on the ground, students must have grade-level appropriate snow gear in order to play on the field or equipment while at school. Otherwise, they are limited to the blacktop.
Grades PreK-3: Full snow gear (jacket, snow pants, boots)
Grades 4-5: Boots and jacket
