Cold Weather Reminder

DRESS YOUR CHILDREN WARMLY
Please remember to send your children to school dressed appropriately! Students will go out for recess if the temperature (with wind chill) is 17 degrees or higher.  This is a guideline for all  CV Elementary Schools.

Once outside, if the temperature seems too cold to stay outside, the building aides and teacher on duty will collaborate to make the decision to bring the students back inside.

Students will not be permitted to go outside without a coat/jacket if it is below 45° (or the feels like temperature is 45°). If you have a student who doesn’t have a coat, he/she should be sent to the office with a book to read. The office will keep data for the students who don’t wear a coat. If it is continuous, Mrs. Henry will call parents.

What is a coat or jacket? A coat or jacket is an article of clothing worn only to go outside.  It can’t be the sweatshirt a student is wearing all day in school.  For example: If a student wears a sweatshirt and wears another sweatshirt over it, this would be defined as a coat or a jacket.

Temperatures from Weather Bug, will be used. Hampden will use the “Currently Outside” temperature which is on the left side under the map. (Feels like temperature will be used – look under the regular temperature.)

Thank you for helping to ensure that all of our Hampden Dragons are dressed appropriately for the colder weather!
