Recess and Noon Hour Guidelines

Recess
• all students are expected to take their snacks outside for this short break regardless of weather conditions
• students are expected to dress appropriately for weather conditions prior to leaving the building

Noon Hour

Outside Days
• on outside days students remaining at school must eat lunch in their own classrooms
• students must remain in their classroom until the 12:15 bell at which time those students who have finished their lunch should go outside
• at 12:25 all students are expected to go outside, dressed appropriately for the weather

Inside Days

• On ‘extreme weather’ days an announcement may be made permitting students to remain indoors during the lunch hour. Inherent in this privilege is the understanding that students will maintain a calm and safe environment indoors. Should their behaviour indicate otherwise, students will be asked to go outdoors to the undercover area.

• Should students elect to remain inside on these special days, they need to remain in their own classroom for the duration of the noon hour. Students are not permitted to wander from once location to another throughout the school.
