In case of serious illness or injury at school, every attempt will be made to contact the parents. It is very important that we have a telephone number where parents may be reached and the name and number of a designated emergency contact person. In winter and during rainy periods, have students wear boots, warm coats, gloves, hats and rain gear. Students should avoid wearing tennis shoes and light coats during the winter months. Appropriate dress will protect students from the weather during outside play periods.
Recess is a very important part of the overall school program.
The physical and social activities that occur during recess provide fresh air, an outlet for energy, exercise and a chance to play and develop friendships. All children are expected to go outside for recess, unless parents have sent a note informing the school of a particular health concern. These notes should have enough information to allow the teacher and office to know, as appropriate, the reason and time line for the student staying indoors. The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District policy for outdoor activities states that Prolonged outdoor activities will be canceled when temperatures drop below -10 degrees Fahrenheit applying windchill factor. All outdoor activities will be canceled when temperatures drop below -15 degrees Fahrenheit applying windchill factor.
