Recess during Winter weather means Whitehead students need to dress warm

The winter weather and temperatures are arriving this week. It is our goal to get the children outside for recess each day as long as the weather allows. Recess will be outside unless there are :

1. Temperatures that are 10 degrees or colder

2. Severe winds

3. Heavy snow or rain

4. Ice covering the playground in a dangerous manner

5. Other circumstances that would not allow for a safe recess time

Administration will make the decision as close to the lunch hour so as to use the most updated local weather data.

In order to stay warm and be able to enjoy recess time students should wear the following winter clothing for recess each day:

1. A Winter coat

2. Hat/hood/scarf

3. Gloves/mittens 

And once the snow falls students may choose to wear :

4. Boots

5. Snow pants 

Thank you for working with your child to help him/her be prepared for a warm recess time each day.
