News from the Nurse
With the change of season comes a change in the weather and the arrival of cold weather. We value and support the opportunity for our students to have recess outside whenever possible.
Recess benefits students by:
Increasing their level of physical activity.
Improving their memory, attention, and concentration.
Helping them stay on-task in the classroom.
Reducing disruptive behavior in the school.
Improving their social and emotional development (e.g., learning how to share and negotiate).
Our goal is to have students go outside for recess whenever possible. Students must wear the appropriate winter outerwear.
Students should be wearing long pants. No shorts in the winter months.
Students should come to school wearing a winter jacket, gloves, scarves, hat, etc.
Please discuss with your child the need to wear jackets at recess. Winter outerwear should not be removed when it is cold outside.
If your student needs a winter coat, please contact your school nurse and we may be able to help.
A sweatshirt or hooded shirt is not considered appropriate outerwear when it is cold outside.
Warm shoes should be worn. No flip-flops or sandals during the winter months.
Encourage your child to go outside and play after school as well!! If your student needs a hat or gloves tell them to stop in at the nurse. I have new hats and gloves available for students.
