Dear Great Falls Families,
The daily temperature for Gorham will be checked
at www.weather.com.
When the "feels like" temperature is
below 10 degrees, students will be kept inside for indoor recess. School
secretaries, Mrs. Perkins and Mrs. Murray, will check the temperature for the
AM recess and make an announcement as soon as possible. If the AM duty staff
feel as though it is too cold while on the playground, they can make a judgment
call to contact the office and bring the students indoors.
Temperatures will be monitored throughout the day
and notification about canceling lunch recess will come from the office.
Monitoring temperatures is for the safety of the
students and the supervising adults. While many students run around and are
dressed appropriately, others are not and extended time at freezing temperature
can be a hardship for the adults and students.
However, even in the cold winter months, outdoor
recess is an important part of the students' day. Students need movement breaks
and perform best when they have an opportunity for vigorous play, so we will
try to get them out whenever possible.
Please make sure your child comes to school with
the appropriate winter gear. Warm jackets, hats, gloves, boots, and snowpants
are highly encouraged every day.
Thank you!
