Students in grades K-5 have three recess breaks throughout the day: morning, noon, and afternoon. Grades 6-8 have a morning and afternoon break and a noon recess. All recesses are held outdoors, even during winter, unless weather does not permit.  Then students will have recess in the gym.
    During the winter months parents are asked to provide their child with proper clothing for outside activities: winter coat, hat or earmuffs, gloves or mittens, and boots.  Snow pants are required if students want to play in the snow.
    Only those students with special health concerns will be allowed to remain inside for recess. Parents are asked not to send a note asking to keep a child inside for recess due to minor or trivial concerns. The teachers need to be supervising the students outside and are not able to supervise those inside. Any doctor's excuse will be honored.
