McIntire Elementary School
Mission: High Levels of Learning for ALL!
~ Weather and Recess ~
We will have recess every day. The students go outside unless:
• it is raining.
• the wind chill is 15 degrees or lower.
• there are dangerous weather conditions such as ice, snow, powerful winds, etc.
McIntire will use The Weather Channel Feels Like temperature to make recess determinations. When the students don’t go out, they remain in pre-designated rooms supervised by an adult.
As per the district elementary handbook, the following guidelines are utilized regarding appropriate outerwear:
• 61° and up – No jackets needed.
• 51° to 60° – Jackets are required.
• 16° to 50° – Winter coats are required.
If your child needs a winter coat, please let his/her teacher know. We have lots of unclaimed coats from previous school years that we launder and save for students. Also, if you have coats your family has outgrown, please send them to school so we can redistribute to a child who needs a coat. Thank you!

~ Volunteers in the Fulton School District ~
The Missouri State legislature recently created new requirements for those wishing to volunteer in a school. The new definitions of a volunteer and screened volunteer follow.
Volunteer – Any parent or person in the community who provides uncompensated service to the district. As used in this procedure, a “volunteer” does not include students participating in a district-sponsored program, such as tutoring or acting as an office or teaching assistant.
Screened Volunteer – A volunteer who may periodically be left alone with students. Usually, screened volunteers commit to assist the school on a regular basis. Examples of a screened volunteer include persons who regularly assist in the office or library, mentor or tutor students, coach or supervise a school-sponsored activity before or after school, or chaperone students on an overnight trip.
The preceding definitions and other volunteer information are located in the Board of Education Policy Manual, file IICC-AP(1) School Volunteers. The policy manual is accessed on the FPS web site.
To continue volunteering in areas with school faculty immediately in your presence, such as class parties, providing classroom assistance, and field day assistance has not changed. Process for a volunteer:
