Lower School

Students have physical education and recess daily. These activities will be held outside, weather permitting. Our playground areas will remain open to students, but grades will continue to access these areas at separate times throughout the day in order to allow students more space to run and play. The use of hand sanitizer and/or handwashing will be enforced both before and after recess and PE.

DON’T FORGET YOUR WATER BOTTLES, OAKS

We have several water bottle filling stations throughout the school, so don’t forget to pack your reusable water bottle each day.
