Cold Weather Reminders
As we are approaching the cold winter weather, we wanted to remind you that students will still be going outside for recess. Please make sure you send your child to school with warm clothes. All clothing needs to be labeled with your child's name to prevent it from being lost. Our lost and found bin is overflowing. Please check in with your child to ensure they have all their belongings. We will be donating leftover items at the end of the month.
Below you will find the HCPSS criteria we consider when having outdoor activities:
-
Temperature and humidity
-
Wind chill
-
Heat index and air quality
-
Age of students
-
Length of time outdoors
-
Adequacy of the children’s clothing
-
Condition of the playground
-
Falling precipitation (more than a sprinkle or mist)
-
Thunder and lightning
Generally, it is assumed that students will be outside for recess, physical education, or any other outdoor activity when the temperature combined with the wind chill is not less than 20 degrees Fahrenheit or the heat index reading is less than 95. We appreciate your help to ensure all our students stay healthy and safe!
