Recess Safety
Learning is not confined to the classroom. Social and emotional skills are sharpened and developed on the playground every day. That’s why it’s important for grownups and students to make recess safety awareness a priority. Unstructured recess is a school requirement. While, using playground equipment safely continues to be a strength for Euclid students, we are struggling to play team sports safely. This is where we need your help.
Soccer, football, and basketball are wonderful team sports allowing all students who play to practice collaboration, communication, and partnership. Unfortunately, some students in ALL grades, are taking the competition too seriously and playing in ways that are not safe.Unstructured play is a right - even protected by state code in Illinois. However, one student injury is one too many and team sports may not be able to continue during recess if our children are not able to play safely and inclusively.
Please take time to talk with your child about safe play in order to ensure we can continue providing ALL of the open experiences afforded during unstructured play. If you have questions, please contact Karen Daly (224-612-7400 or kdaly@rtsd26.org) directly.

Cold Temperature Limits
We use the chart below to help determine whether is is too hot or too cold for students to be outside. If the "Feels Like" temperature is in the red on the chart, students will be inside for arrival, physical education class, and/or recess. In the winter, that typically means the temperature + wind chill is below 10°F. In other words, if the REAL-FEEL is below 10°F, then we are inside.
Please make sure students are dressed appropriately for the weather when they leave in the morning. Usually, students will be outside unless there is thunder/lighting, moderate/hard falling rain/snow, or extreme amounts of ice.
