It is important for students to get outside for some physical activity every day. They are provided with a 20-minute daily recess. We expect everyone to come to school dressed for the weather. Our school will have indoor recess on days when the weather is not suitable for outside play: when the temperature with wind chill is below -11°.
Other notes:
• Schools may choose to have a 10-minute outside recess for temperatures around -11°. Outside supervisors will make this decision in cooperation with the office.
• Students with health plans on file in the health office may have special considerations that will be followed.
During the winter months, your child needs to wear a coat, mittens/gloves, snow pants and boots since the children will go outside for recess unless the wind chill temperature is below -11°. Once it snows, children who do not have boots or snow pants will need to stay on the blacktop area.
If you need any assistance getting cold weather gear for your student, please reach out to our School Social Worker.
