St. Andrew CES Cold Weather Policy

The winter weather will be here before we know it! With that in mind, please remember to dress children appropriately for outside conditions. Hats, gloves, scarves, and boots will keep your child(ren) warm during recess. It is also recommended to have an extra pair of clothes at school in the event that students get wet as flurries arrive. We will continue to remind students to dress warmly for outdoor routines. SAW’s inclement weather temperature is –18°C (with the wind chill).

During cold weather when temperatures hover around the -18 mark, students may be asked to follow a staggered recess schedule which allows for a shortened recess at lunch hour for some fresh air and exercise at the discretion of the administration.
