NEW! Wiz Fit Challenge Prizes: The prizes earned during the TBS Wizfit Challenge are being sent home today 4/2/25.

NEW! Please Wear Outer Layers During Spring:
Dear Parents/Guardians,
As a reminder, we go outside for recess whenever the temperature, including the wind chill factor, is 32°F or above. Since recess occurs earlier in the day, temperatures are often cooler than the predicted daily high.
Yesterday, we had to bring students inside because many were dressed in shorts and did not have jackets. While the temperature was 44°F, the "feels like" temperature was only 37°F, making it too cold for students without proper clothing.
Outdoor Recess Policy - 
In New Jersey, public schools are required to provide a daily recess period, which must be held outdoors whenever feasible. Going forward, if the temperature meets our outdoor recess guidelines, students will remain outside for the full duration of recess.
To ensure your child is comfortable and able to participate, please make sure they are dressed appropriately:

• Jackets & Layers: As mornings are often chilly, children should wear a jacket or coat. Hats and gloves are also encouraged as temperatures drop.

• Pants & Appropriate Footwear: Shorts are not suitable for colder weather. Please ensure your child wears long pants and closed-toe shoes for warmth and safety.

• Labeling Items: To prevent lost belongings, please label jackets, hats, and gloves with your child’s name.

We appreciate your support in helping us follow state guidelines while ensuring students can enjoy recess safely. Please check the morning temperature before sending your child to school to ensure they are dressed appropriately. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Nurse Armstrong.
