K - 5 students will have daily outdoor recess except in extreme weather conditions such as rain or severe cold/windchill. It is expected that students dress appropriately for outside recess and weather conditions.
Aspen’s cold weather policy is:
● If the “Real Feel” temperature falls below -5 degrees, the students will not go outside for recess.
● If it is raining, the students will not go outside for recess.
● Decisions for indoor or outdoor recess are made by 10:00am. Aspen Academy uses the KARE 11 website for the official temperature reading.
● In the event of a noticeable weather change during the recess schedule, there may be a decision made to have inside or outside recess later in scheduled time.
● If an event or weather conditions create unsafe playground equipment, students will not go outside for recess.
Please consider these factors related to weather as students leave home each morning.
Hats, scarves, boots, snow pants, mittens and gloves are necessary.
Most playground games are played in the snow. If students do not have boots on, they are restricted to play on the cement areas. Students are not permitted to stay indoors during lunch or second recess time without a written request from a physician.
If students are too ill to go outside, they are too ill to be at school.
