Hello, Metacomet Families,

As long as the temperatures stay above freezing, we would like to have our students get fresh air and go outside for recess. We will allow students to walk in the snow only if they have their winter books and snow pants on. If they do not, students will only be allowed to play on the playscape and the blacktop. We do not want them getting their clothes wet. Thank you!
