Colder Weather means...
Lots of layers, zippers and buttons. Thank you for sending your student in with appropriate layers to keep them happy and warm during outside recess. With the additional layers comes additional time spent helping students manage all those cuff layers, zippers and buttons.
You can help...
Take time every day (even just a couple of minutes) helping your child become proficient and independent in dressing for the colder weather. Practice zipping those jackets, affixing hats to heads, and getting those mittens under the coat cuffs.
Thank you so much for supporting all of us while we support all our students!
