Recess Expectations

Several recess periods are provided to children throughout the day.  Children are encouraged to go outside for recess, but there is indoor recess offered for students during cold and inclement weather.  Children need fresh air and exercise to function properly in the classroom.  In the case of prolonged or serious illness, the physician in charge of the child should write a note to the school explaining the situation; otherwise, we will expect the child to be outside.  Please be sure your child is dressed for the weather.  During periods of extreme winter weather the students will remain in the classroom and the playground aides, secretary and principal will supervise the students. Journey Elementary follows the Indoor Recess Guidelines established by the county health department.
