There are many activities, which operate for students who wish to remain indoors. Intramurals for both Junior High and Elementary students are scheduled on specific days. The computer room is also available for supervised educational activities. Various teachers also operate their homerooms for catch up and homework as the need arises.
Even with all these activities, there are a number of students who do not choose to take part in the activities or the activities are full before they decide. Since we do not want to have students wandering throughout the building, these students are asked to go outside for some fresh air and exercise. Please encourage your son/daughter to dress appropriately for the weather conditions knowing that they maybe outside for 25 minutes during the noon break.
Students WILL NOT be required to go outside during inclement weather conditions (temperatures below -25 Celsius and/or high wind chill conditions). Washrooms and medical facilities are available to students at all times during noon and recess breaks. In addition to this, the community door mudroom has been assigned to students for "warm-up" purposes on days when they are expected to be outside. The decision, based on the above conditions, will be announced as an "inside day" to the students. Unless a teacher has specifically requested they remain inside or they are involved in one of the inside activities, students will be expected to go outside on all days not announced as "inside days".
