BRRRR... it's cold outside! With the colder weather, students need to be dressed appropriately for this weather. When the temperature goes low, students need to have winter coats, hats and mittens for outside recess. Please make sure that your child/ren wear clothes to keep them warm. It can be a challenge to keep up with growing children and new winter coats to keep them warm. If your family needs help with this, we are here to help. Please contact me  (Dr. Kukstis) if we can help.

This Friday is predicted to be extremely cold. We make decisions about outside recess using the Child Care Weather Watch chart. This chart uses outside temperatures and wind chill. When the temperature and wind chill combination is in the red zone we will have an indoor recess. If it is in the yellow zone, we consider very carefully whether it is outside or indoor recess. I have pasted this chart below for your information.

Speaking of winter clothes, our lost and found still contains a number of winter coats, along with many hats and mittens.  If your child is missing any of these items please feel free to check our lost and found located at the base of the stairs by the cafeteria and gym.


During this time of cold weather and holidays, BCHMCPS takes the opportunity to reach out and help those in the community who are challenged with homelessness in a small but very important
way through the school-wide Sock Drive. Please consider helping those who struggle with homelessness by donating new white socks. There are collection boxes located in the front hall for this collection. Thank you!



Two reminders for Friday:

• This Friday is the December All School Community Meeting. All families are invited and encouraged to attend. We look forward to seeing you there.

• This Friday is also the December School Store. Thank you to the PTO for running the school store each month.
