January 2023 Life Skills / Enero 2023 Habilidades para la Vida
This month students have the privilege of learning from Ms. Mary from Recycle Utah in their Life Skills classes. Mary Closser, the Education Director for Recycle Utah, has been teaching in PCSD schools for ten years. Her lessons are based on natural resource conservation and touch on everything from basic recycling and composting to water efficiency and climate change. She's passionate about her work and enjoys every minute with the students, our future generation of conservationists. Feel free to contact Mary at mary@recycleutah.org if you have any questions or suggestions for her as she'd love to hear your thoughts!
Morning Drop Off Request / Solicitud de entrega por la mañana
In order to provide time for students to safely exit cars in the valet during morning drop off, Principal Howe is requesting that you do all you can do to arrive closer to 7:45 than 8:10AM, especially on Fridays. Students involved in Get Out and Play need additional time to safely get their ski equipment out of the car. Students should be on campus no later than 8:10AM to avoid being marked tardy.

Snow Play Rules - Sledding Hill / Snow Play Rules - Colina de trineo
Please review the rules of snow play on the playground with your child. These guidelines are for the protections of our students.
Be safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible
· There is no throwing snow or ice.
· The area outside the cones near the fence is for building snow forts. Only students building and playing in the snow forts will be allowed in that area. Students who are destroying the structures will be asked to leave. Any student misbehaving will be asked to leave (we must be able to trust students that far out in the field to behave appropriately).
· Students must have snow pants to slide on the hill.
· There is only sliding on the hill when there are at least three staff supervising recess. Students should ask if the hill is open before going to slide.
· Students must only slide on their pockets (not on coats, stomach, back, or knees).
· There is no running or pushing on the hill (if students cannot say in control, they will be asked to leave).
· Students should slide one at a time, wait until the path is clear, and not sit at the bottom of the path.
· Students should walk up the hill out away from the path where kids are sliding.
· Students should not be rolling down the hill.
· Sliding paths should be made between the basketball hoops (there is no sliding beyond the last basketball hoop).
· Any student not sliding safely will be asked to leave the area.
· On the snowbanks, there is no pushing, king of the hill, and no flips off the banks. If there is a cone on a snowbank it is closed.
· Students who are not being safe on the snow banks will be asked to play somewhere else.
· Tunnels should not be made since it can collapse on a student inside the tunnel
Por favor, revise las reglas del juego en la nieve en el patio de recreo con su hijo. Estas reglas son para la protección de nuestros estudiantes.
