Rainy Day Attire—Important Reminder!

Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for outdoor play during this cold, rainy weather. We send all our students outside to play and they need rain boots and warm, waterproof jackets. The teachers are noticing that many students are not dressed for the current weather—this means we cannot send them outside for recess, the teachers and staff do not get their breaks, and students cannot get the physical activity they need.
