Cold Weather Guidelines

Dear Parents, It is very important that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather, including hats, gloves, mittens, etc. We do not have enough clothing to lend out to kids who need these items and we also do not have the staff to be able to supervise a lot of kids inside on colder days over lunch and recess times. We will, however, have indoor recess and lunches when temperatures reach -20 Celsius or colder including wind-chill factor. Please see our guidelines below: CBE   Cold Weather Guidelines for On-Site Activities 
 When temperatures reach -20 Celsius or colder including the wind-chill factor, it is recommended that students be kept inside for recess or lunch breaks. The minus 20 Celsius guideline is comparable to other school jurisdictions in Alberta and across Canada.   note | this temperature is provided as a guideline and may be adjusted for the school/activity. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!  Kind regards, Emily Cadma
