Radio and T.V. stations in the Wichita area will be contacted by 6:30 a.m. if school will be canceled or will start later than usual because of inclement weather. It is recommended that parents listen to the radio or T.V. announcements so arrangements can be made for children to arrive home safely.
PLEASE BE SURE TO DRESS YOUR CHILDREN FOR OUTSIDE ACTIVITY IN ALL KINDS OF WEATHER WHEN COMING TO SCHOOL-layers work well. We will be outside for recess unless moisture or wind chill is a problem. We will use 10 degrees wind chill as a guideline but will also consider temperature, wind chill, dampness, and overall weather pattern in determining whether recess will be inside or outside. Children are better learners following activity periods such as recess. A parent may request to have their child stay in for recess following an illness, however, prolonged request must be accompanied by a physicians statement.
