Outdoor vs. Indoor Recess
As winter is arriving, please be mindful of our indoor recess policy. Please send your child with appropriate clothing to go outside for recess. It also would be greatly appreciated if caregivers would practice putting on coats, snow pants, and boots on at home to help students enjoy their full recess time. Students will be going outside unless the temperature is below 20 degrees and/or the wind chill is below 10 degree.
