All-Weather Play At Brookside
At Brookside we are striving to become an all-weather play school, it is therefore very important that your child is dressed for all weather (e.g. rain, snow, cold or heat etc.). Please make sure you label all your child’s clothes, hats, mittens, and boots. We will not be going out in extreme weather, this decision is based on the TDSB Policy for inclement weather. Brookside Public School administration and staff strictly adhere to this policy for the safety and well-being of each child.
