Recess

As long as the wind chill temperature is above zero degrees, children normally go outside for recess. Please dress them warmly with proper coats, hats, scarves, boots, and mittens.

Girls in kindergarten–6th grade may wear long pants under their dresses to school and during outdoor activities, but not in class. Please label your child's outerwear.

Parking Lot

Beware of icy or slick spots that may occur and drive cautiously. Never leave your vehicle unattended or parked next to the curb line.  Use the parking spaces available in our lots. Safety is every driver's responsibility. Please be considerate of other school families and observe the above guidelines.
