Winter Weather Reminders
As temperatures continue to drop, we want to ensure every student stays warm, safe, and ready to learn each day! Please make sure your child comes to school with appropriate cold-weather clothing including:
- A warm coat or jacket
- Hats, gloves, or mittens
-Boots and other weather appropriate footwear
Students go outside for recess whenever conditions allow, and proper winter gear helps them stay comfortable and enjoy their playtime to the fullest. If your family needs assistance with winter clothing, please don't hesitate to reach out- we're here to help!
Friday, December 19th is our next spirit day, please encourage your child to show their school spirit and wear their favorite holiday gear!
