HOW COLD IS TOO COLD
TO ALLOW STUDENTS TO PLAY OUTDOORS?
During typical winter days, common sense requires us to look beyond a specific temperature and consider factors such as wind chill, whether the ground is frozen or the sun is shining, how well the children are prepared to play outdoors (jackets, gloves, and hats), what activity the children are participating in, and the length of time to be spent outside. When the weather turns extremely cold, we have to balance students' needs for physical activity with the dangers that come from too much exposure to the cold. To keep our Eagles safe during these cold weather months, our classes will not go outside for recess or PE when the wind chill is below 30 degrees Fahrenheit. When a grade level has decided it is too cold to go out without proper attire, one teacher may choose to stay inside with students who do not have a winter coat, gloves, and hat. In the event we must stay inside, students will have indoor recess and they can play all kinds of games, including those that reinforce what they learn in school.
