Reminder for Families: Cold Weather and Recess Preparedness
As the colder fall and winter months arrive, we want to remind families to ensure students are dressed appropriately for the weather. Please send your child to school with a warm coat, gloves, hats, and other necessary outerwear so they can comfortably enjoy outdoor recess.
We aim to provide students with outdoor recess opportunities whenever weather conditions allow, and being properly dressed helps them stay warm, safe, and ready for fun.
Thank you for your support!
