Extreme Cold Weather Guidelines

Posted on by Ventura Park P.S.

Now that winter is upon us, we are reaching out to stress the importance of appropriate clothing during the winter season.

Safety with Weather

·        Send your children dressed for the weather as we are outside for close to an hour each day (as temperatures and/or wind chill approach -20 degrees Celsius or below, we will follow the extreme cold weather guidelines and consider shortening recesses or keep students indoors)

·        Send your children with shoes for indoors and boots for outdoors to keep our classes and gym slip free and feet warm outside

·        Make sure your children have extra clothing in their classroom in case they get wet (socks, pants, shirts, sweatshirts, etc.)
