While it still officially falls on the calendar, the cold weather and snow are upon us early. Children are encouraged to wear layers for a variety of activities that take place throughout the day. To alleviate the absence of winter coats, gloves, hats, scarves, etc., please label your child's signatures with their name. It's incredible missing items pile up so quickly! Encourage your child to check lost and found in the coming weeks if they are missing anything. Children must wear snow gear to play in the snow or playground at recess. Please plan to either send snow gear each day or leave snow gear in your child's cubby. This ensures they stay both warm and dry. As a reminder, we go outside for recess unless:

1. Temperature is below 15 degrees
2. Heavy new snow of three inches or more
3. Rain, regardless of the amount
4. The temperature, when combined with the wind speed, produces a wind chill of 10 degrees or below
