We Create Innovative Thinkers for a Dynamic World

News from the Nest for the Week Ending January 30th

Posted Date: 01/30/26 (09:00 AM)



We love getting students outside whenever it is safe and comfortable to do so! Fresh air and outdoor play are important for children’s health and learning.

  • Indoor recess will be held when the temperature or wind chill is 20°F or below, or when rain, snow, ice, or muddy ground makes it unsafe to go outside.
  • For our preschool students, we follow NAEYC guidelines, which recommend staying indoors when the temperature is below 32°F to keep our youngest learners safe and warm.
Please be sure your child comes to school with weather-appropriate clothing (coats, hats, gloves, boots) so they can enjoy outdoor play whenever conditions allow.
