Student Footwear – The school field is an important part of supporting physical activity, play, and outdoor learning. Mud tracking into the school building can be challenging for our caretakers and affects the cleanliness of our hallways and classrooms. To support our students’ access to the school field, we ask that children bring a second pair of shoes specifically for outdoor use so they can change into clean shoes before coming into the classroom. Extra socks and pants can also be helpful for those wet and muddy days. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
