December Newsletter

We will attempt to be outside as much as possible. If it is 25 degrees or warmer we will be going outside. If there is snow, we will be allowed to play in the snow as long the students follow the "Frosty 5" rules (see below). We do have some extra hats, gloves, coats etc., if you borrow them they must be returned in order to have enough to share. Thanks!

You may not drop kids off, and walk them across the streets. There are crossing guards with safety paths to allow for ways to cross the streets, on both Main St. and Madison St. Thank you for following these safety procedures daily.
