Cold Weather is here!
Like it or not, cold weather has arrived, and it will stick around for a while. Please ensure that your child comes to school dressed appropriately for the weather. For Recess, students spend 40 minutes outside, so being prepared it very important. Unless the wind chill is below 0 degrees, students go outside for Recess.
If you are in need of cold weather clothing due to a financial need, Resource West is a great non-profit that serves the West metro.
