Spring Snow/Mud/Water Gear for Recess Time

Posted Date: 03/10/26 (01:02 PM)


A child in yellow boots splashes through melting snow and puddles.We are at that time of year when a coat is not always needed on certain days for recess but BOOTS and SNOWPANTS are a must in order to play in the snow.  My advice is to continue to pack the Big 5 - students can then have some choice on what they wear.  We will however require the following in order to go into the snowy areas.

Students in K, 1, 2 will continue to be asked to wear at least the BIG 2 in order to play in the field/snowy areas.

  • Big 2:  Boots & Snow Pants
Students in 3,4,5 will be asked to wear at least BOOTS in order to play in the field/snowy areas.

Our goal is to ensure students do not have wet feet or pants after recess.  The above guidelines help us with that goal.  
Thank you,
Mr. Whittaker
