WFPS District Protocol for All K-5 Elementary Schools Indoor Recess and Morning Playground
Specific guidelines will be used during cold weather.
Morning Procedure: Students will be allowed to come into the building in the morning if the weather is inclement (Wind chill is -15° F). They will wait in a designated area for school to begin. We strongly urge you not to bring students to the school before the time students are allowed to enter the building.
Noon Recess: Students have been confined for 3 1/2 hours and need exercise and fresh air. The guidelines used to judge whether students will go outside during noon recess are dependent upon the temperature and wind chill (wind chill is -15° F). The supervisor on outside duty may also decide if students will come in early before the bell. This allows flexibility in allowing for the differences in physical development and the age level of students. The temperature and wind chill information used is obtained from the National Weather Service on a daily basis.
Clothing for Cold Weather: North Dakota winter weather can be very cold. Therefore, dress your children warmly during the winter months. Children must wear mittens or gloves, overshoes/boots, caps, and scarves. During winter months, snow pants and boots are required. Bare legs should be covered in the winter. Except in the case of very severe weather, students will spend up to 30 minutes outside during the noon recess. Students must be dressed warmly enough to be comfortable. Also, if your child tends to chill while sitting in school, have them wear long sleeves, sweaters/sweatshirts, or leave a sweater/sweatshirt labeled with the child's name in school for continued use. Parents, your children must wear overshoes or boots in the winter months and when it is wet and/or muddy outside. The children's feet need to remain warm and dry, and our school must remain clean. If you are unable to provide appropriate winter clothing/gear for your child please contact the school and we will do our best to help meet those needs. Apparel should be marked with the child's name so it can be identified and returned if lost.
