Additionally, with students bringing in extra clothing for colder
weather, please make sure everything is labeled. Students will only be
allowed on the blacktop when snow is present, but if they have boots (or
additionally a snow suit, gloves, etc.), they will
be allowed on the field and the rest of the playground. If they bring boots
to school, they will need an extra pair of shoes, because boots are not dress
