“Weather” or Not To Go Out

I do not remember the last time that we have had such unpredictable weather, especially in the month of January. We have seen days so cold that even the school buses do not run, while at the same time, we have encountered January rain showers. Some parents often ask about the school’s policy on when the stays inside verses when they go outside for recesses and noon hour. When the weather dips down to -30 (which includes the wind chill temperature) the students are kept in. Anything warmer, then the students go outside. Often is the case that the mornings are cold enough at this time of year to keep them inside but it often warms up in the afternoon to temperatures which then sends them out to play. Please make sure your son/daughter has enough winter clothing to accommodate changes in the daily weather. It is always possible to peel off items for warmer weather but when students come without jackets, for example, and it gets colder, there is little that can be done. Stay warm and have a great relaxing February break
