Colvin Run Elementary Cold Weather Recess Guidelines (All Grades)
During typical winter days, students will go outside during the winter months. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately (coat, boots, gloves, and hats) for outdoor weather. On PE days, students should have a pair of tennis shoes as well. Students may go outside if it is snowing.
How Cold is Too Cold to allow students to Play Outdoors?
-
When the wind chill/”feels like” temperature is 25 degrees or higher, teachers are advised to take their students outside for recess. Teachers of younger grades may make adjustments to this temperature based on student attire and current weather conditions.
-
When the wind chill/”feels like” temperature is between 20-25 degrees, teachers may use their professional judgment, based on students’ attire (jackets, snow pants, boots, gloves, and hats) and current weather conditions in determining if students will go outside for recess.
-
When the wind chill/”feels like” temperature is below 20 degrees, or there is any rain/sleet, teachers are advised to keep their students inside for recess.
Outdoor Attire
Depending on the conditions, students with boots will be allowed to play on the mulch area/soccer field, and students with tennis shoes should stay on the blacktop areas. To ensure students have ample room to play, we are making every effort to ensure the playground blacktop and basketball blacktop areas are cleared of any snow. Due to the possibility of slipping, if there is snow on the ground, students will not be permitted to play on some of the playground equipment. For safety reasons, students will stay off any ice, hills, and cannot throw snow.
