With the weather this week, there is going to be a lot of ice on the school property in the early morning that will turn to puddles by mid afternoon. Students have been reminded to watch carefully for slippery areas, walk like a penguin and wear footwear that is safe and suitable for wet weather (running shoes are not recommended). Many students had a chance to try out their winter boots in the giant puddle in the compound. All students were cautioned to stay out of the puddle if they didn't have waterproof boots. You might be very surprised to learn just how waterproof your child's boots are.
In addition, with the warm temperatures expected, the ice will be turning to slush and water as the day goes on. We are asking students to bring an extra pair of pants and socks in their backpacks to change into in the event they fall and get wet. Being wet is a natural consequence to wadding into the large puddle after being cautioned to stay out if you don't have proper footwear. At least a change of clothes will make things a bit better.
