Winter Weather Season
Colder Weather
Colder weather is here! Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately, we do our best to get outside everyday. When the “feels like” temperature drops below 25, we will keep the students inside for recess.
A quick note about the lost and found: we've accumulated numerous items, so please encourage your child to check for any belongings they may have misplaced. It's also a good opportunity to remind everyone to label their items. This simple step can make a significant difference in ensuring lost items find their way back to their owners.
