WEATHER GUIDELINES:

WEATHER GUIDELINES:

Students should be dressed appropriately for outside play in most weather conditions. Coats, hats, gloves, and proper footwear should be worn. Outer clothing that may be removed is essential so that students do not have to have wet clothing in the classroom. On days when adverse conditions prohibit outside play, we will have students inside the building before school at approximately 8:30, during lunch recess, and afternoon recess. When weather and conditions permit, students are expected to be outside until escorted in by their teacher.

 

Typically we plan to have outside recess when the temperature is about 20 degrees. We restrict outside play when we have heavy rain, lightning, or strong winds. Sometimes we are advised to be inside due to low air quality.
