Cold Weather Guidance
This is a reminder that students spend 30 minutes outdoors during recess each day. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately with a warm coat and/or other cold-weather clothing, gloves, and a hat, so they can comfortably enjoy their time outdoors. See the National Weather Service’s tips on staying safe during cold weather.
Throughout the winter, FCPS and the Providence principals monitor the weather for very low temperatures, wind chill advisories, and weather warnings which may prevent children from being outside and call for us to shorten the time outside for recess.
If you need assistance supplying your child with cold-weather clothing our Family Liaison, Piedad Dwyer (pdwyer@fcps.edu) is happy to support you.
