WINTER AND SNOW EXPECTATIONS
Outdoor Recess: Policies & Procedures
Parents: Please review these policies and procedures with your children:
WE ALL GO OUT AT LUNCH RECESS:
Usually students go outdoors for lunch recess and a possible extra afternoon recess. Please be sure that your child is dressed for the weather. The decision to have an outdoor or indoor recess is based on both the wind speed and temperature prior to recess. If it is an outside recess day, all students must go outdoors. Unfortunately, students who have colds and coughs are not allowed to stay indoors. We will make an exception if we receive a note from your child’s physician stating he/she must not go outdoors. Under these conditions your child would sit in the health room during recess.
Clothing
All students are expected to go outside for recess whenever the wind chill is above 0 degrees. Please be sure your child is dressed for the weather. Coats must be worn when the temperature is 40 degrees or below. To play in the snow on the grass or equipment, boots and snow pants are required. Students who come to school without boots and snow pants will stay in the blacktop area. Students in grades 3-5 may go on climbing equipment with boots only (no slides or swings). Mittens, hats, scarves, etc. are also encouraged for all in the cold weather. Winter is a great time to put that extra set of labeled clothes in your child’s backpack, in case they get wet at recess.
Ice, Mud, Water Areas
Students are expected to avoid ice, water, and mud at recess. NO SLIDING or playing in icy areas. Injuries occur when students play on the ice. Students are expected to avoid muddy areas and areas of water. When the Gaga Ball pit is closed due to water, ice, or mud, students should stay out of that area.
Snow
ABSOLUTELY NO THROWING OR KICKING OF ANY SNOW OR ICE! Students may play in snow if properly attired (boots, snow pants, gloves and mittens), but NO PUSHING, TUNNEL BUILDING OR OTHER DANGEROUS GAMES. Students are welcome to make snowmen and forts – with the understanding that they will not be “saved” or “reserved” and may be used or dismantled by the next group of students who come to play.
