All students from Kindergarten to Grade 8 are expected to go
out for every recess unless the principal decides that the weather conditions
are so poor that it would be detrimental for them to be outdoors.
Weather
conditions are always monitored and in extreme conditions (e.g. wind chill being extreme), we
would keep the students indoors or shorten the time outdoors.
We often receive
requests from parents asking us to keep their children indoors during recess
because they are not feeling well. Unfortunately, we do not have the staff or
facilities to supervise students who are sick or still recovering form an
illness. Students with heavy colds, etc., which are serious enough to prevent
them from participating in the physical activities, should remain at home until
their condition improves. This will benefit the students concerned and prevent
the spread of illness to others.
Please make sure that your children are
dressed properly for our invigorating winter days. It is advisable for students
to bring extra pants and socks. Boots, hats mitts/gloves, scarves and snow
pants for the younger children will help make recess an enjoyable time. A
change is often necessary due to the wet and cold weather of the winter months.
To avoid adding to our clothing collection in the Lost and Found, please be
sure to label all articles of clothing.
