Cold Weather Reminders

As we are fully moving into cold weather season, we wanted to remind you that students will still be going outside for recess. Please make sure you send your child to school with warm clothes. All clothing needs to be labeled with your child's name to prevent it from being lost.

Below you will find HCPSS criteria we consider when having outdoor activities:

  • Temperature and humidity
  • Wind chill
  • Heat index and air quality
  • Age of students
  • Length of time outdoors
  • Adequacy of the children’s clothing
  • Condition of the playground
  • Falling precipitation (more than a sprinkle or mist)
  • Thunder and lightning

Generally, it is assumed that students will be outside for recess, physical education, or any other outdoor activity when the temperature combined with the wind chill is not less than 20 degrees Fahrenheit or the heat index reading is less than 95.

Thank you.

Recordatorios sobre el estado del tiempo frío

Amedida que nos acercamos al invierno y a los días más fríos, queríamos recordarles que los estudiantes continuarán saliendo al recreo en la mayoría de las ocasiones. Asegúrense de enviar a su estudiante a la escuela con ropa abrigada y prendas para adaptarse (para poder quitarse o ponerse). Cualquier prenda externa que se pueda quitar (abrigo, sudadera con capucha, gorra, etc.) debe estar etiquetada con el nombre de su estudiante.

Acontinuación, se incluyen los criterios del HCPSS que tenemos en cuenta al realizar actividades al aire libre:

  • Temperatura y humedad
  • Sensación térmica
  • Índice de calor y calidad del aire
  • Edad de los estudiantes
  • Cantidad de tiempo al aire libre
  • Adecuación de la ropa de los niños
  • Estado del parque infantil
  • Precipitación (más que una llovizna o neblina)
  • Truenos y relámpagos

    Por lo general, se supone que los estudiantes estarán al aire libre para el recreo, educación física o cualquier otra actividad al aire libre cuando la temperatura combinada con la sensación térmica no sea inferior a 20 grados Fahrenheit o la lectura del índice de calor sea inferior a 95 grados Fahrenheit.

    Gracias.
