Parents, we are continuing to go outside for recess and will do so for as long as possible. Please send your students to school with a winter coat, a hat, and gloves. We have numerous students who are coming to school with just a sweatshirt. If you are missing their coat, please have your student check the lost and found. We have a large collection of coats in lost in found.
