Recess
Generally students will go outside for recess unless the temperature falls below 0 degrees fahrenheit or if the combination of wind chill and temperature necessitate limited outdoor exposure. As the temperature and conditions may vary between schools and time of day, the Principal or designee will make the final decision regarding outdoor recess. Parents are encouraged to remind students to dress appropriately for all weather conditions. When snow is on the ground, K-3rd Grade students will only be allowed to play on the field during recess when they are wearing snow pants and boots. Students should assume that they will be outside for recess every day and should dress for the weather. Questions regarding school recess procedures should be directed to the school Principal. A sign is placed outside the front doors on mornings that are too cold to stay outside.
Lost and Found
Lost and Found will be removed at the end of each month. Please check the lost and found when you are at school! Also, please label your child's clothes. If they are labeled, it is easier for us to return the clothes to the owners.
School Supplies
Water bottle
Our school does not have water fountains, but we do have water filling stations. Each student should have a water bottle that is labeled with their full name.
