***SNOW DAY CHANGES FOR 2020-2021 ONLY ***
Cold Weather Reminders
Children will be expected to go outdoors for recess when the temperature and wind chill is 20 degrees (Fahrenheit) and above. Students will not go out if it is raining or sleeting. Please be sure that you listen to the weather in the mornings and dress your child appropriately. If your child must stay indoors because of illness during recess time, we ask that you write a daily note requesting that your child stay inside. Repeated requests for indoor recess will prompt the nurse to require a written statement from the family doctor concerning the request.
