Rain pants rule changes for May

Dear Families,

       Now that May has come, the official policy is that teachers decide if rain pants are required each day.  Because in the nursery many children come to school dressed in outside clothes, and because I want to free nursery children from a crowded and busy hallway as much as possible, I am going to trust parents to decide whether rain pants are needed or not.  If you need some sort of guidance or rule to help each morning, one you might decide the following way

1)  If it has rained the night before or is raining in the morning, use rain pants.

2)  If it has been dry and warm the day before and is still, no rain pants.

Kindergarten teachers have been asking for sun hats.  Because the nursery children are outside earlier and in the woods a great deal (so there is both a lot of shade and chances for sun hats to get lost), they are less essential for this year's nursery class, but do plan on procuring one for kindergarten in the fall.

With rain and sun,

William Dolde
