WINTER GEAR
The temperatures have dropped, so please keep in mind that students go outside for a 30 minute recess each day unless the temperature is below -10 degrees. It is also important for students to be dressed appropriately while waiting at the bus stop. All students should have a warm coat, snow pants, snow boots, hat, and gloves or mittens. We still have a few students that don't bring their snow gear to school everyday. Also, if your student wears snow boots to school, please have them bring shoes to change into. Please help us keep your student safe and warm on these chilly days.
