Dress for the Weather Daily
There's no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing! We're seeing many Dragons perfectly dressed for the weather, but we are also seeing a number of children in their summer gear on these occasional cold days.
As winter looms, we ask that parents check weather forecasts to ensure their children are dressed appropriately (pants, jackets/coats, hats and gloves, sturdy footwear, and rainwear as needed) for outdoor learning and activities every day.
