If your child wants to play in the snow...
We suggest that each student have a designated bag to transport their snow gear to and from school each day. It doesn't need to be fancy—just something your child can easily carry. (A grocery store bag, a reusable bag, or whatever works for your student.
Label your child's belongings, including jackets, sweatshirts, snow pants, and boots. Adding their name to these items makes it easier for us to return lost items.
Pack a pair of shoes! Please send a pair of shoes for your child to wear at school instead of their winter boots, as boots often become wet and heavy during recess.
Ensure gloves are dried before bringing them back to school. Many students request dry pairs, and our supply to share is limited.
Encourage independence! We recommend having your child pack their bag each night. This is a great way to foster responsibility and help them build independence.
No worries if gear is forgotten! If your child forgets their snow gear, it’s okay! This provides students with an opportunity to practice flexible thinking by adapting to the situation and finding alternative ways to play and participate during recess.
