Winter Weather Guidelines

Decisions on whether students are to go outside are based on the guidelines listed below: 

Before School:

  1. When the temperature and wind chill are lower than -10 degrees, students will be sent to the gym, and then to the classrooms.

Noon Recess:

  1. When the temperature and wind chill are lower than -10 degrees, students will stay inside during the noon and 15 min recess.

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 not required, but are highly recommended if your child(ren) wish(es) to play in the snow.*

Respect, responsibility, and a safe environment help us learn at Prairie Rose Elementary.

Together we make a difference.
