Keeping Our Students Warm and Healthy This Winter
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we approach the colder months, we want to ensure that all our students remain warm, healthy, and ready to learn. With temperatures dropping, it’s important for children to dress appropriately for the weather. We kindly ask that you ensure your child comes to school dressed in warm layers, including a coat, hat, gloves, and sturdy footwear.
Mr. Bradford
