WINTER POLICY UPDATE FROM MR. BEISSER 1/5/10
In the past, children without snow pants or boots had to stay inside for recess. We've been having a large number of students purposely leaving their boots and/or snow pants at home in order to not have to go outside in the cold. Starting Wednesday, January 6, students not wearing snow pants and/or boots will still be expected to go outside but will not be allowed to play in the snow. These students will have to stay on the cement. Thanks - Mr. Beisser

You need to return to the web site through your browser or close out the new window. We are working on that to add an option for going "back.")
