    KNIK  ELEMENTARY  PLAYGROUND
    COLD  WEATHER  &  ADEQUATE  WINTER  CLOTHING
    Knik Elementary sometimes experiences unusual conditions regarding cold, rain, and wind. When these conditions are prevalent, we will carefully monitor them, and take appropriate action to decide if we will have indoor or outdoor recess.

    The District recommends:
    -10 degrees Fahrenheit and above -regularly scheduled outdoor recess
    -10 degrees Fahrenheit and below -shortened or cancellation of recess (at the discretion of the principal).

    Your child should be comfortable and protected from inclement weather at all times. Please don 't underestimate the importance of proper clothing, especially footwear, in cold and wet weather. During the winter months, ALL children must come to school with coats, hats, gloves, boots, and snowpants.

    Knik Elementary does not have the staff to supervise ill or recovering students. If your child is not well enough to go outside for recess, please have them continue recovering at home. All children will go out to recess unless they are working with a teacher on school work. There are special allowances for injuries, special needs , or children with a doctor's note.
