Dress for the Weather
Please be sure to send your child with a warm jacket, hat and gloves to school daily. Once the snow falls and temperatures fall below freezing, snow pants and boots are a must. Labeling your child's boots, snow pants and other items brought or worn to school is a great idea.
As a reminder, spills and accidents happen! It is always helpful to have a spare change of clothing at school. Now is a great time to exchange the shorts and t-shirts with warmer clothes for winter.
