Good afternoon,
I hope everyone
had a lovely night!
Just a reminder to send your child with proper outdoor
gear…coats, boots, hats, mitts, and snow pants.
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.

Today we used this period to work on our International

predictions, writing list of materials we will need, and record results. I
would ask that all material needed to construct the car be brought in on Monday
so we can begin making the car in class. The construction of the car must be
completed by Friday, January 29.The tests will be completed the weekend of the
