As the seasons change and the weather gets colder, we want to ensure all our students stay warm, safe, and comfortable throughout the school day!
Here are a few reminders to keep in mind as you help your child get ready for school:
Layering is Key: Dressing your child in layers allows them to adjust easily as temperatures rise and fall between morning drop-off, warm classrooms, outdoor play, and afternoon temperatures.
Dress for the Day: Check the day's forecast, including wind and afternoon temperatures, rather than just the morning temperature.
Cold-Weather Essentials: Please send your child with a warm jacket, hat, and gloves or mittens on chilly days, along with sturdy, closed-toe footwear.
Label Outerwear: As layers come off during the day, items often get misplaced. Please write your child’s name on jackets, sweaters, gloves, and hats so we can easily return lost items!
Thank you for your partnership in keeping our school community safe and warm! Please reach out if you need assistance obtaining cold-weather gear for your student.
Please note that Kids Klub will be closed on Thursday, November 12th so our staff and families can attend and enjoy PTO Fun Night! 🎉🎈
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Mark your calendars, and we look forward to seeing everyone at PTO Fun Night!
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us.
