- Please make sure that your child is dressed for colder weather during recess. We will go outside if the windchill is 38 degrees or higher. If windchill is 37 degrees or lower, we will have indoor recess.
- If your child would like to bring his or her own headphones to use with the computers, that is perfectly fine. However, they will be responsible for them.
