Cold Weather Reminder

With the extremely cold temperatures expected for the next week, it is important that students dress for the weather when coming to school. Please see the image above for some guidelines with respect to dressing for the cold.

When temperatures are in the range of -10 to -15 degrees at the school, students are typically expected to play outside as long as the windchill isn’t too bad. When the temperature drops below -15 degrees at the school there is a good chance students will have an indoor recess.  The decision whether or not to have an indoor recess rests with the principal, and is based on a number of factors (ie. temperature at the school, windchill, shelters available, length of time outside, etc.).

During these cold mornings, please try to have your child(ren) arrive at school as close to the bell as possible to minimize the amount of time the children need to wait outside.

These guidelines are in place to protect the health of all students, staff and guests at South Broadview.

Thank you!
