As you know, the weather if turning chilly outside! Because third grade has recess outdoors at 10:15am each day, we thought it would be best to clarify our county weather guidelines. At 10:15am, teachers check the current temperature. When the temperature is 40 degrees or colder, students must be covered for protection (jacket, coat, sweater.) Students who are not covered will remain inside for recess with a teacher. Also, students will be given the option to remain inside when the temperature is below 40 degrees (approx.)
I have discussed this with the students and it is ultimately their responsibility to be prepared. The best lessons are learned when children aren't prepared on the first few cold days at recess. (And have you noticed the wind in Crozet?) Keep in mind that layered clothing is best. Often when the temperatures outside or cold, the heat is blowing inside and our room can become quite toasty. On the other hand, when the weather is warmer, the air conditioner blows colder air into the classroom. We just never know how it's going to feel!
Thank you for your attention to this matter. As always, we appreciate your support in helping us strive to stay healthy and practice appropriate attire for winter weather.
Mrs. Robinson
