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.

Is your student 5 years old? If so, they can get their kindergarten immunizations done now! Just call your provider to schedule an appt & let the school nurse know!
