MESSAGE FROM MR. HILL- PARENTS PLEASE READ!

The cold weather is fast approaching.  We ask parents to dress their youngster as warmly as possible prior to their leaving for school.  Even though some children ride the bus to school, they still will be spending a considerable amount of time outdoors on the playground, particularly during the noon hour.  Our school district policy states that when it is not raining or when the temperature is 10 degrees or above, pupils are not permitted into the building until the usual time of 8:25 AM (unless they are having breakfast) and 12:45 PM for 4K so be sure to dress your youngster for our Wisconsin winters.  On rainy days or when the temperature is below 10 degrees, pupils are permitted to enter the building at 8:15 AM and will spend the noon hour indoors.  A red flag will be placed on the doors indicating early entrance due to inclement weather.  Please be sure your child has a hat and a pair of mittens.  PLEASE LABEL THEIR ITEMS SO IT’S EASIER TO RETURN IF THEY ARE LOST.

PILSUNG!
