Subject: RE: Outdoor play in cold weather
Ms. Perles
Attached is the latest post to the New York City Department of Education's Principal's Weekly on this issue. After this post appeared, I received several e-mails from principals asking for more precise guidance. My recommendations are as follows:
If the wind chill factor is above 20 degrees, it is safe to play outside. If the wind chill factor is 0-20, outside play is advised provided that students are appropriately dressed and under observation to make sure that they are wearing their coats, hats and gloves.
