Weather Guidelines
Children need an opportunity to get exercise
and free play time outdoors, however,
weather conditions sometimes warrant that indoor recesses, lunch periods
and pre-entry periods be considered necessary for student and staff safety.
Conditions warranting indoor recesses
- Rain, thunderstorms, lightning, hail, extreme winds and extreme cold.
- Cold weather: When temperature and/or windchill factor indicates -28C or lower children will remain indoors due to risk of frostnip and frostbite.
- When temperature and/or windchill factor indicates –20 to –28C, recesses may be shortened to 10 minutes and lunch recess be 20 minutes depending on local conditions. Children should be monitored closely for signs of frostnip, frostbite or difficulty breathing.
