Below are some winter tips you may find useful.
Recess During Cold Weather Elementary school students are kept indoors for recess and lunch times for a number of weather conditions such as rain, lightening in the area, extreme winds and extreme cold. When temperature and wind chill measure -28C or lower, students are kept indoors. Recesses and lunch hour may be shortened if the temperature and wind chill reading is between -28C and -20C.If a student's medical condition requires further consideration due to weather conditions, or if parents have other questions or concerns about how and when weather conditions affect your child's school day, please contact the school office.
As winter approaches, we know that severe weather will be part of our daily lives for the next several months. While traffic safety is an important matter all year long, this is a particularly good time to review what we can do to keep students safe. The need to be aware and alert at all times, on any road, and even in the most routine circumstances is key to traffic safety. This applies to students and drivers alike. Road conditions can be challenging in the winter months. So to those of us who drive, please take extra care on the roads and in parking lots, especially in areas where children might be present.School staff periodically review street and traffic safety with students. Parents can help reinforce these safety messages with children at home. Below are some tips that might be helpful to review.- Stop, look, and listen for traffic.- Only cross at corners and crosswalks.- Make eye contact with drivers.- Walk on the right side of the crosswalk.- Wear appropriate footwear to reduce the chances of slipping.- Never run into the street.- Obey crossing signals.- Cross only if clear.- Walk on sidewalks.- Where there are no sidewalks, walk as far away from traffic as possible, facing traffic.The safety of our students is always a top priority. Let's work together to make the winter season safe so we can enjoy all it has to offer.
Happy New Year to all our Families ! If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at 416 394 7890 ex 20011
