For the safety of all students:

Weather Policies
DURING THE COLDER MONTHS, PLEASE REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING:
- Students go outside for recess and lunch when the temperature (with the wind chill) is minus 26 degrees Celsius or warmer.
- If weather conditions are poor, you should make a safe decision about traveling to school. Parents must report all absences/late arrivals/early departures to the School Office. Call 306-343-1494 and press "1" or email 24/7.
- Ensure you have an alternate plan for your children in the event you are unable to get to the school for pick up.
- In cases of severe weather, the school may invoke emergency dismissal procedures. Parents will receive instructions and should check the SCS or 650 CKOM websites in the mornings for emergency notifications.
- Ensure that emergency contact information is current at the School Office with a telephone number where you can be reached immediately.
DURING THE WARMER MONTHS, PLEASE REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING:
- Students will remain inside the school when there is thunder and lightning, driving rain, excessive winds, or poor air quality.
- Students normally go outside for recess and noon hour during the rain (unless the conditions listed above exist). Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather and is prepared with rain boots, a raincoat, umbrellas, and a change of socks or pants if necessary.
- When the weather is hot, students should follow the SCS Dress Code Policy (see SCS Parent/Student Handbook) and be prepared with hats, sunblock, and a refillable water bottle.
