In my district here in Minnesota the kids go out for recess unless the windchill or air temperature is below -10°. Does your district have a winter indoor recess policy?

I think it has to be above 40 in my district. Most of our students have cheap coats that were bought for them by the school though.

We do not go out if it reaches 0 F.

Omg.. our policy is we don’t let kids outside without long pants/coats once it hits under 40 F 🥶

Ha! We have indoor lunch if it’s below 60. Rainy day indoor recess if sprinkling.

Since we don't have much real winter weather like you do, we keep them in if the temps or wind chills are below freezing or if it is rainy/wet outside.

-10! Wow! Our policy is 29 and below, no outdoor recess.

My home district is 15 degrees or below no recess, where I teach it is -10 or below. Crazy what a difference there is in districts. Of course if it's raining kids don't go out, either.

Southern Michigan. Wind chill -20 is the threshold for school although I’ve heard 0 on the temp determines recess. We had a local Christmas parade in late November a few years back where wind chills dropped to -13 and the band still marched (although several brass instruments had valves freeze up in the middle of songs). Kids thought it was great!

Wind advisory will keep kids in. Rain will. We only get below 30 degrees at the wee hours of the morning. They have and will lock down the school for extreme weather.

20 degrees is the temperature point for us. Ice on the playground will keep them in too.

If the same company is hiring for two very similar but different positions and you qualify for both, do you apply to both? Additional caveat is that I interviewed for one of them last week. No word yet on whether I made it to the next round. Would gladly accept either position, but not sure how it would look if I apply for the second position while still being considered for the first. On the flip side, I don't want to miss the window on the second position while waiting to hear back...thoughts?
