CGB Elementary News
November 4, 2022
With the expected change in temperature please see some expectations below for outside PE and recess before/after school.
Students will be inside if the wind chill “feels like” temperature is -5 or colder.
If it is raining outside students will stay inside. If it is sprinkling or a light rain we will use discretion in sending out. If it is snowing, students will go outside.
We expect families will send students with appropriate clothing for the weather.
You can send an extra jacket to leave at school if you would like.
Naturally, conditions in the Fall and Spring can change quickly, so make sure your child is prepared.
Our goal is to enjoy the time outside, but also understand that 30 degrees is chilly and can be uncomfortable.
