Extreme Weather Conditions–Winter

Dressing for Winter Weather
During the cold winter months it is important that students come to school dressed for the weather conditions. This includes: 

boots, 
hats, 
scarves, 
snow pants, 
warm coats 
and mittens or gloves

We also encourage packing an extra pair of socks and pants in case they get wet.
All students are expected to go out for every recess and lunch hour, weather permitting. We monitor the weather throughout the day, including temperature, wind chill, sun/cloud conditions and wind velocity. In extreme weather conditions, such as ice pellets or extremely high wind chill factors, the principal may decide to shorten recess breaks or keep students indoors.
Students with illnesses serious enough to prevent them from participating in recess or other outdoor activities should stay at home until their condition improves. This will also prevent the spread of illness to others.
