STAY WARM!
As we move from January into February, we hope that warmer weather will prevail! The students have been missing their outdoor recess! Please remember to send them with snow gear as we will be going outside as long as the temperatures are at or above 0 with the wind chill factor.
Be Courageous, Be Kind, Be Safe

OUTDOOR WINTER RECESS GUIDELINES
It is our goal here at Ivy Hill to get our students outside for recess as much as possible. Sometimes however, Mother Nature does not cooperate! Here are our guidelines for Winter Outdoor Recess:
- Students MUST wear snow pants, coat, boots, hat and gloves to be able to play in the snow.
- Students that do not have snow gear can play on the blacktop area and playground.
- Students may not throw snow or ice!
- Students will have Indoor Recess when temperatures are at or below 0 degrees with the wind chill.
Most families find it easiest to put all snow gear into a large, plastic shopping bag so that the kids can keep it all together and change when needed. Again, please put your child's name on all outer wear!
Please talk to you kids about our snow guidelines and make sure they have their snow gear each day!
