A few friendly reminders:
* We will be outside for recess as much as we can. Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately in layers! As the weather continues to change coats, hats, and gloves are encouraged!
* Gym shoes are required for indoor PE. Please make sure that your child's P.E. shoes fit. Gym shoes do not need to be new, but do need to be clean and not worn outside!
