Preparing for the Seasons: Dressing Appropriately for Outdoor Recess
Remember: The end of Daylight Savings means no shorts until after Spring Break
As the seasons change and temperatures start to drop, we want to remind families about our school’s policy regarding outdoor recess and appropriate clothing. Our guideline is based on the “real feel” temperature—when it reaches 15°F or below, students are required to wear jackets during outdoor activities. This policy is in place to ensure that all children stay warm, safe, and comfortable while enjoying their time outside.
It’s important to remember that mornings in Colorado can be quite chilly, even on days when the afternoon is forecasted to be sunny and warm. Because of this, please make sure your child arrives at school dressed in layers, including a warm jacket or coat. Over the next five to six months, temperatures can vary widely throughout the day, so being prepared for both cool mornings and warmer afternoons is essential for your child’s comfort and well-being.
In addition, please keep in mind our dress code policy regarding shorts. Students are not permitted to wear shorts to school until after Daylight Savings Time begins next spring. This policy is designed to protect children from the cold temperatures common in Colorado mornings during the fall and winter months. We hope this helps reduce any early morning struggles over what to wear and keeps our students focused on learning and playing comfortably.
Thank you for your attention to these important reminders. Together, we can help ensure our students are dressed appropriately for the weather and ready to make the most of their school day, no matter the temperature outside.
Tutoring
EL Tutoring is a great way to support English Language development in bilingual students. Please take advantage of this opportunity if your child received an invitation! If you have any questions, please call the office.
BES Thanksgiving Dinner
Burlington Elementary School is excited to celebrate our annual Thanksgiving Dinner with our students on November 19th! This is a special time for students to enjoy a delicious meal together and celebrate the season of thankfulness. We encourage students to dress nicely and remember to use their best manners.
Due to seating accommodations and meal count limitations, parents will not be able to join students for the Thanksgiving Dinner. The cafeteria is rearranged to allow students to experience a nicer dining setting than typical days. Thank you for your understanding!
