May Overby Elementary School

Getting outside for a breath of fresh air is not only healthy for students, but also helps to keep them alert.  We prefer to have students OUTDOORS for recess each day if at all possible.  However, there are times that the recess periods are shortened when it is very cold, or when the students remain indoors if the temperature or wind child is below –10.  When we have significant snowfall, the students are expected to wear snow boots during recess.  Students without boots will need to stay on the blacktop areas that have been cleared of snow.
