Here in North Dakota, we all know one thing for sure… Winter doesn’t tiptoe in—it moves in!
The temperatures have dropped, the snow is flying, and it’s officially time for our students to gear up for the season.
To help everyone stay warm, safe, and ready for outdoor fun, we’re asking each student to have a “Winter Bag” at school.
Winter Bags should include:
Coat
Snow pants
Snow boots
Gloves
- Hat
Our classes will go outside for a 30-minute recess whenever the temperature is above 0°F, so having winter gear at school every day is essential—especially for students who walk to and from school.
Winter Bags may stay on your child’s classroom hook during the week as long as items aren’t wet or dirty. If things get soaked from playing in the snow (as they often do!), please send them home to be dried or washed before the next school day. We also ask that Winter Bags be taken home over the weekend so everything can be fully dried, cleaned, and ready for a fresh week ahead.
Many families find that a reusable grocery bag or similar works perfectly for transporting winter gear separate from backpacks.
Student who DO NOT participate in Breakfast club should NOT be dropped off prior to 8:10 AM as there will be no adult supervision to allow students inside due to inclement weather.
Thank you for helping our Twining students stay cozy and winter-ready!
