Dear Families,

Our upper school students provided us with a wonderful instrumental and choral concert this week. A big shout out goes out to the students and, of course, the teachers, Ms. Hamel, Mr. Frazee, Mr. Tally, and Ms. Chanler.

As the weather continues to fluctuate between mild and cold, I thought I would take a moment to review our outdoor recess policy. We consider recess to be an important part of a child’s school day and we strive to have outdoor recess whenever possible. On days that are extremely cold we use the Child Care Weather Watch Guide to help us decide if it is too cold to go out and play. However, typically if it is below 13 degrees we will make arrangements for indoor recess.

We recommend sending your child to school with cold weather clothing; a winter coat, mittens, hat and boots, so that he or she may partake in the winter fun. If you are experiencing financial difficulty with providing any of these items, please contact Ms. Susan Greenberg, our school nurse, or Ms. Lillian Rater, our Family Liaison, for assistance.

I also want to encourage families to get in touch with Friends of Amigos regarding the Ragnar Race. Once again, we will be participating and it is a great experience!

Thank you, and have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Sarah Bartels-Marrero

Estimadas familias,

Esta semana, nuestros estudiantes de la escuela intermedia nos deleitaron con un maravilloso concierto instrumental y coral. Un reconocimiento a los estudiantes y, por supuesto, a los maestros, Ms. Hamel, Mr. Frazee, Mr. Tally y Ms. Chanler.

Cómo las condiciones del tiempo siguen fluctuando entre clima moderado y frío, me gustaría tomar un momento para repasar la política de recreo al aire libre. Consideramos que el recreo es una parte importante del día escolar y nos esforzamos por salir a fuera siempre sea posible. En días extremadamente fríos utilizamos la guía Child Care Weather Watch Guide para decidir si el tiempo está demasiado frío para salir a jugar afuera. Sin embargo, cuando la temperatura está bajo 13 grados, típicamente hacemos arreglos para un recreo adentro.

Recomendamos que envíe a su hijo/a a la escuela con vestimenta apropiada para el frío: un abrigo de invierno, guantes, sombrero y botas. Así él o ella podrá participar y disfrutar de actividades de invierno. Si usted enfrenta dificultades económicas proveyendo alguna de esta vestimenta para el frío, por favor contacte a Ms. Susan Greenberg, nuestra enfermera, o Ms. Lillian Rater, nuestra representante de Enlace de Familia, para encontrar asistencia.

También quisiera exhortar a las familias a ponerse en contacto con Amigos de Amigos con relación al evento “Ragnar Race”. ¡Nuevamente, estaremos participando de esta gran experiencia!

Gracias y que tengan un fin de semana maravillosos

Sinceramente,

Sarah Bartels-Marrero
