Summer Heat!

Today, we implemented our 'Hot Day/Rainy Day' lunch schedule. As a general rule, when we expect the temperature to be at 105 degrees or higher during the majority of the lunch period, we make the decision to keep all students inside during their lunch time. We take into account the heat index, excessive heat warnings, and the ozone alerts as well. Fortunately, our playground has plenty of shade and the recess times are short. On days that we do go out and it is still hot, our Duty Aides do an excellent job supervising students, reminding them of water breaks, and even "misting" them with water from time to time!!! Keep Cool!
