Spring Recess Rule Change

Spring is here...it may not feel like it, but it is! With that, the 4/5 Team is making some recess rule changes. Below, you can find a copy of the letter that was sent home. If you have any questions about the rule changes, please don't hesitate to email or call!

Thank you for your support!

Dear Parents,                                3/28/14                                                 

With spring weather (hopefully) upon us, the 4/5 team has decided to more fully embrace the idea of natural consequences regarding outside clothing for recess times.  This means that if a child decides to go outside without wearing a jacket, he or she might have to deal with the natural consequence of being cold.  If a child decides not to wear boots or snowpants, goes in the snow, and gets wet, he or she will have to deal with wet shoes and clothing for the rest of the day.  We encourage you to help your child make appropriate clothing choices when thinking about what the weather will be like on a particular day, and we will be encouraging independent and appropriate decision making, as well.  Thank you for your support.

The TVES 4/5 Team
