Dress Appropriately for the Weather

Please have your child is dressed appropriately for the cold and make sure the head and hands are covered.  The students will have outdoor lunch recess, unless it is raining or snowing, or if there is ice on the playground.

New York City Department of Education policy and New York City Department of Health have provided guidelines to schools regarding outdoor play in cold weather.  

“Children benefit from vigorous exercise and should be given the opportunity to play outside whenever possible.  Unless it is snowing or there is ice on the playground, low temperatures should not be a barrier to outside play, as long as children are appropriately dressed.  The Health Department strongly encourages principals to maintain outdoor play periods on the vast majority of winter days.”
