As we look ahead, colder weather is coming our way so we wanted to share our winter temperature recess guidelines and winter recess expectations. Students will be going outside for recess unless the real temperature or windchill falls below 0. So please take a look at these clothing guidelines to ensure your child is properly dressed for recess. If you have any questions, please contact us a either school. We thank you for your continued support.
