= Dressing for Different Seasons =

Children want to be ready for indoor and outdoor activities during the school day because they may be indoors and outside. They need clothing that is comfortable and appropriate for school and the weather. We are happy to help finding the right clothing for your child. Please contact the school nurse or social worker.


 * Dressing in layers will allow children to be comfortable as the temperature may vary in the school ** . Hats and hoods should be removed before entering the school.

Warm weather
**For shoes, wearing sneakers or sandals attached to the foot with ties or back straps makes a child ready for all activities.**  Flip-flop shoes can cause slips and falls. If children wear flip-flops, they will not be able to participate in gym class and will play on the blacktop during recess. For clothing, **simple, comfortable clothing is appropriate for elementary school activities**. Children should be able to self-dress with some assistance in certain grades and cases. All clothes should be suitable for school and not distracting to self or others, well-fitting and not revealing, no inappropriate graphics or language, no disruptive accessories.

Cold weather
**We would like children to wear gloves or mittens, a hat or winter headband, winter jacket, snow boots and snow pants**. Children without snow boots and/or snow pants will be required to stay on the blacktop during recess if there is snow on the ground. This will help to keep clothes dry. **Children should have an extra pair of shoes with them so they do not have to wear snow boots all day**. **An extra pair of dry socks is helpful**.
