DRESS FOR THE WINTER WEATHER

As the temperature begins to drop, we remind parents to ensure your children are dressed for the weather.  Students are expected to go outside for breaks even if it is wet and cold.  Indoor recess is called when the combined temperature and windchill reach -27 degrees celcius.  An extra pair of pants, mitts and/or socks are handy when the kids get wet from playing outside.

When taking the bus, students are expected to wear a jacket and have proper cold weather clothing.  There is always a possibility of bus breakdown and the students may have to walk.   Bus drivers can refuse transportation to students not dressed properly.

If combined temperature and wind chill is -45 C or colder at The Forks at 6:00 a.m. buses will not run for the entire day.  Check the Seven Oaks School Division website for updates when in doubt
