Ames Christian School

The staff desires that all the students enjoy recess by keeping warm and dry.  Please watch the weather carefully to make sure your student is prepared for winter weather and can enjoy recess. These are the Winter Recess Apparel Requirements:

• Complete outdoor winter apparel (boots, hats, mittens, and coats) is required for students to participate in recess activities. Hoods can be worn if they tie and stay securely on the students head.  To play in the snow students must wear snow pants. We recommend students wear snow pants daily to keep warm.
• Shoes are allowed when the sidewalks and parking lot are completely free of water, ice, or snow. 
• Incomplete outdoor apparel will result in no playground privileges and the student will be required to sit on the bench to watch.
• Snow boots can’t be worn in the building, if a student doesn’t have shoes at school parents will be called to bring shoes. Please make sure you child has an extra pair of shoes and socks in their locker at all times.
