Cold Weather Reminders: 

BRRRR: Cold weather days have arrived. We will decide each recess if we will go outside based on the windchill (we can go out if the windchill is 17 degrees or higher) and the playground is safe (not too wet, icy, or covered in snow). Please make sure your students come each day with outside gear (hats, gloves, coats). 

Label Items: It is also great if you can label these items in some way. We have a lot of similar looking coats and small items tend to get lost. Your student's name on these things can help them avoid losing items or taking the wrong one. 

Snow Boots: If we have recess when part of the playground is covered in snow (if it is fully covered we will have inside recess), only students with snow boots will be able to use that portion. Students with regular shoes will be able to use the cleared portion of the playground. Students can wear snow boots to school, but is a great idea to pack regular shoes in the backpack for during the day). 

Dismissal: If it is icy or the sidewalks are covered in new precipitation, the class will likely dismiss through the front of the building- like we do if it is raining. 

All decisions made will be to ensure student safety!
