Adequate Clothing
Please ensure that your child(ren) come to school properly dressed for any type of weather. A good pair of winter boots will keep their feet warm. Hats, gloves, scarves, snow pants and a good winter coat will make playing outside safer and more enjoyable.
Extreme Cold
As outdoor temperatures fall below -20 C with wind-chill, supervisors will be making the decision on whether it will be an indoor supervision or not. If it is determined to be an indoor supervision time, they will be actively bringing students inside the school. During the day, the outside doors will be locked and students needing to enter the school will be asked to come around to the office entrance. If you arrive at school and there are no supervisors or students outside, please walk your child around to the office doors and ensure that it is a school day.
Parents, please ensure your child(ren) do not arrive at school prior to the 15 minute supervision bell (unless involved in special activities).
Environment Canada is the source of our weather information and direct observation will be the source of rainy day / snow day decisions. When temperatures of –20 and below (including wind chill) are reported, or it is raining heavily, it will be declared a time for inside entry and school patrols will not be on duty.
