Or check the DPCDSB Website life of the school. Students are expected to go outside for fresh air and exercise. If your child is sick, please keep him/her at home until they are well. This prevents the risk of your child spreading their illness throughout the classroom. There is NO indoor supervision at recess as staff are occupied elsewhere or on duty outside. W e ask that students dress appropriately; i.e. coats, gloves, mitts, boots etc.. Where possible please put identification (your child’s initials) on your child’s belongings. A great idea for our younger students is to send an extra set of clothes for the ―wet or muddy day accidents‖. If they are dressed warmly, they are better prepared to participate in outdoor activities during recess and noon hour. The heat has been turned on in the school so layering the children’s clothing is a good idea. P lease be advised that students are kept indoors at recess during the winter only when the weather conditions are extremely cold. (When the wind chill equivalent temperature is minus 25 degrees Celsius or lower, as per school Board policy.) The staff of St. Agnes extends best wishes to all our families for a safe, peaceful and holy Christmas season. Merry Christmas
