Weather Guidelines from the 2022-2023 Student Handbook page 18

Decisions on whether students are to go outside are based on the guidelines listed below. (Guidelines apply to rainy,
windy and cold weather conditions.)
* When the temperature and wind chill are -10 degrees and above, students will be sent outside.
* When the temperature and wind chill are -11 degrees and below, students will stay in the building.
Students who have an excuse because of illness, coughs or colds will be allowed to remain indoors during recess
provided they have a note from a doctor. (Notes must be dated and signed.) The note will be valid for only one week
or less.
Parents, please check for appropriate dress before your student leaves for school. Students are expected to bring
appropriate headgear, gloves and coats. Snow pants and snow boots are highly recommended; however, if your
child(ren) wish(es) to play in the snow, snow boots and snow pants are required. Be prepared for North Dakota’s
changing weather conditions.
