The weather is cold, students need to bring a winter coat, gloves, hats, etc. As the handbook states: Students are required to wear coats if it is below 55 degrees, hats and gloves below 32 degrees. The “feels like” temperature will be used to determine this. If students do not have proper clothing, they may not be able to attend outside recess that day. If your child is in need of a coat, hat, or gloves, please reach out to the school.
Due to the train this morning, bus routes are running a little late.
