Here are the guidelines we use to determine what the students should wear outside. Be advised that these are guidelines, many things come into play with weather. But being prepared for the cooler weather with layers is always a good day. These are up to teacher discretion as it may feel different than the temperature says.

Below 55 feels like temp, they need long sleeves

Below 45 feels like, they need a sweatshirt or jacket

Below 35 feels like, Must have a winter jacket and hats & mittens/gloves

IF THERE IS SNOW, they must snow pants, boots, winter coat, mittens/gloves & hat.

Please send your child prepared for the appropriate weather conditions.
