Wow it is cold. Here is a clarification of what happens when it is soooo cold outside.
Cold weather/snow weather: to clarify – if the busses are cancelled due to cold weather students are still welcome at school, teachers are expected to get to work (of course some vehicles may not start so some may be late) – if busses are cancelled due to an accumulation of snow, students are still welcome at school, teachers are expected to get to work – of course they may be late if they have to wait till roads are plowed or even wait for daylight so it is safer to drive. On our last cold day, we had about 25 students, teachers decided to group them as primary and older ones and then decided who would do some math lessons or games, who would do art, PE and Language Arts/Library – Â authentic learning was happening.
Inside days – our outside cutoff is -20 degrees with wind. We do have some different options for students during inside recess or lunch time with a variety of teachers opening different areas of the school for students.
