Cold Weather Attire Guidelines
Now that winter has arrived, please be aware of the following guidelines for proper weather attire.
50-60 degrees: long sleeves
40-50 degrees: jackets, long pants
30-40 degrees: winter jacket, long pants
30 degrees & below: winter jacket, long pants, hat & gloves, boots*
*Snow play: snow pants and boots are required if a student wants to walk and/or play in the snow. Without boots or snow pants, students will be allowed to go outside, but will only be allowed on the blacktop during recess.
Each grade goes outside for recess every day, unless the temperature or wind-chill is below zero. Please remember to make sure that your child remembers to dress according to these guidelines. Not having the proper attire could result in a loss of recess.
If you are in need of clothing or shoes for your child, please contact our social worker, Miss Foreman, and she would be happy to help accommodate your needs.

We have lots of great things that have found their way to the Lost & Found.
If your child is missing something feel free to stop in a take a look!
