Dear Parents/Guardians,
As the cold weather season begins, please send winter coats with your children and ensure they are dressed appropriately for the weather. If the wind chill is above 32 degrees, we will go outside for recess. Students who aren't dressed appropriately or who don't have a coat will be required to stay indoors during recess.
Please notify the office if your child needs a winter coat.
Thank You
