A: Each classroom goes outside twice a day, once in the morning, and again in the afternoon. If the weather does not permit for outdoor play, the class still takes part in physical activities. If for any reason you do not want your child to participate in outdoor activities, please send a note, letting your child’s teacher know.
- Q: Is attendance required?
