While we had a warm welcome back after the winter vacation, we started the new year with frigid temperatures and a snowstorm!We had indoor recess this week. With warmer temperatures predicted next week, we are looking forward to outdoor recess again.
I wanted to take this opportunity to remind families that students should come to school with season-appropriate clothing- warm coats, mittens and hats. If any family needs support with providing this type of clothing, please do not hesitate to contact me, Dr. Kukstis, and I will make sure to that we get winter clothing for your child.
On the same subject, I would like to let families know how we make a decision about whether recess is inside or outside. While we always like to have children get fresh air and play outside, sometimes this is just not safe. We use a resource called "The Child Weather Watch" to decide. This is based on both temperature and wind chill. Below is a copy of this chart for your reference.
Please keep safe and warm out there!
Reminders:
- Next Wednesday, January 10th, is an early dismissal day for staff professional development. Students will be dismissed at 12:00; there is NO afterschool daycare program on Wednesday.
- No school on Monday, January 15th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
