Cooler Weather Approaching
As the weather cools please be mindful that students go to the playground in the morning before school starts and also at lunch recess. Just a reminder to make sure your child(ren) are dressed for the weather so they are able to enjoy this time outside. This year we increased our lunch recess time to 25 minutes to allow our learners time to interact with their peers and play outside.
