Winter Gear: Please dress your child in warm winter gear, as we only call indoor recess when it is extremely cold. Otherwise, you can assume your child will be outside playing in the fresh air! They will need coats, gloves, hats and any other outdoor winter clothing you see fit.
Dismissal: Similar to indoor recess, we will have indoor dismissal when the outside temperature (or windchill) is 23 degrees or below. Rain and snow are also reasons that we may conduct an indoor dismissal. Students must be picked up in their PM classrooms. Older siblings will be dismissed to their younger siblings' classes. Students with permission to walk home will be released from the classroom without a parent. You may want to discuss this with your child to avoid end of day confusion. K-2 parents should always have their Pick Up Cards on these days. Teachers will only release students to adults that they know/recognize or that have the correct Pick-Up Card.
Severe Weather Closures or Delays
GVA-N will generally follow Adams 12’s Inclement Weather Policy. An assessment is normally complete by 5:30 am. In the event of a delay or closure, GVA-N will also notify families by way of text alerts, email blasts, app and Facebook updates. If the Colorado State Highway Department issues a traveler’s advisory, all field trips will be cancelled. You can also check local news affiliates (9news is usually the most up to date).
