UPE News Update
October 12 , 2018
*******Reminder: Early Release******* Friday, October 26, 2018 at 1pm. Buses will run all regular routes.
Cold Weather is here!
It is our belief that kids need to spend time outside every day, that means we have recess in all kinds of weather. Students spend at least 30 minutes outside during their school day. Please help your child learn how to dress for cold weather, and make sure students come to school with appropriate cold weather gear.
- We do go out when it is snowing.
- Usually we stay inside when it rains, we are always inside if lightening is present.
- We stay inside if winds are excessive.
- If the wind chill temperature is 15-20 degrees we evaluate all conditions. We may stay inside or do an abbreviated recess.
