Heat Advisory
Due to heat this past week heat and what we may encounter in the upcoming week, please know recess play , lunch play and physical education instruction may be modified. If recess play is modified it may result in indoor play or modified activity. If lunch play is modified students watch a movie in the MPR during play time instead of outside play. If P.E. instruction is modified it results in an indoor P.E. activity in the indoor P.E. classroom. Front office staff works hard to monitor the daily temperatures as the day occurs to determine how best to support student safety with the heat.
