Playground and Recess
PLAYGROUND AND RECESS INFORMATION
Students are expected to go out for playtime unless there is a health reason and a note is sent from home. Appropriate clothing should be worn for outside activities.
Activity on the playground is organized and supervised to provide safe recreation. The school will provide all playground equipment needed. Hardballs and footballs are not permitted because of the hazard they present. Only equipment requested by the teachers will be allowed on the playground.
All students will attend physical education twice each week. Tennis shoes are required. If a child is to be excused from P.E. classes, he/she must have a written note from home. Extended time (2 days) requires a note from a physician.
We do not have outside recess if the temperature or wind chill is below 32 degrees.
