Winter Weather and Dress
We’ve noticed that some students are coming to school a bit underdressed for the weather. While this winter has been warmer than we’re used to, it’s still chilly—especially when the wind picks up.
Our goal is for all students to be comfortable and able to fully enjoy recess. Even on milder days, coats, layers, and appropriate cold-weather gear make a big difference in helping kids stay warm while playing outside.
We plan to continue going outside for recess whenever weather allows, so being prepared helps make recess safe, fun, and comfortable for everyone.
Thank you for your support in helping our students enjoy their time outdoors!
