Cold Weather Dress Code
Now that the cold weather is upon us, it is important that our students be dressed appropriately. Children go outside for recess daily (except for extremely cold or rainy days) which requires them to have a warm jacket, hat and gloves. Boots and snow pants are needed if there is snow on the ground.
Please label all outdoor clothing with your child's full name.
