It's that time of year, and as we move into November, winter will become more prevalent. Please make sure your kiddos are dressed appropriately for the elements when they arrive at school. Per district policy, students will go outside for recess as long as the wind chill is above zero. You are welcome to send snow boots or snow pants with your kids to school.
