Students need to wear a winter jacket to school and also bring a hat and gloves. When snow is on the ground, students need to <strong>bring boots<\/strong> and snow pants. If the temperature is 20 degrees or warmer, students will still be going outside for recess. A copy of our\u00a0Winter Guidelines\u00a0for student dress is outlined below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winter Guidelines for Outdoor Recess<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students go outside for recess two times a day, even during the winter months. We use the following guidelines to determine when it is safe for students to be outside. To make this determination, we use the \u201cfeels like\u201d temperature (wind chill) as reported by the National Weather Service. Please make sure your child is prepared with the necessary outerwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TEMPERATURE GUIDELINES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Below 20 degrees, we do not go outside<\/li><li>20 degrees or higher, we go outside<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clothing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the months of December through March, students should bring boots every day as there are many areas on the playground that can get quite snowy and\/or muddy. Labeling items with your child\u2019s first and last name can help us to return any lost items.
