St. Jude's Academy Cold Weather Policy
Below you will find the steps taken at St. Jude's Academy to ensure
students stay safe and have fun during the winter months.
1 Reduce amount of
time students spend outdoors when the temperature is –20 degrees Celsius
or colder, with or without the wind chill. Students will stay indoors when the
temperature is -20 degrees Celsius or colder, with or without wind chill.
2 Understand that
some medical conditions may increase sensitivity to cold. Parents should
consult their physician and provide a written notice if a child has a
need to stay indoor.
3
Ensure students are dressed warmly, covering
exposed skin: insulated boots, winter weight coats, mittens, hats, neck
warmers.
4 Ensure students
change wet clothing or footwear immediately.
5 Although these
conditions are unlikely to occur during the school day, ensure that all staff
are able to recognize and treat symptoms of frostbite and hypothermia. Given
plenty of warm fluids to prevent dehydration.
6 When children
are outside, be watchful for shivering or signs of numbness in faces, ears,
hands or feet.
7 Educate children in dealing with cold weather: drinking plenty of
fluids, dressing warmly, and recognizing signs of cold injury.

MATH
Today we looked at
reading information from a Pictograph. A pictograph uses pictures to describe
the data. The unit math test will begin Thursday,
January 21 with an in class survey and construction of graphs and then the
in class unit test will take place Monday,
January 25.
LANUGAGE
Just a reminder
that the spelling test will take place on Friday. Today we continued looking at
how to write a report, as our OWA term 2 assessments will take place on
Thursday. I have started a reading logbook for the students. They are expected
to read for at least 20 minutes everyday. They can record it in their reading
log. Reading logs will be checked every Friday. The first one will be checked
on Friday, January 15th.
UOI
Today we looked at changing speed. We used our Science
and Technology to do some reading and answer some questions. I was going to do
a experiment using a sling shot and car but we were just to chatty and therefore
I had did not do the experiment. Perhaps we can try tomorrow!
Have a great night! Drive safe!
