[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously?  Let your kids out before school.  We knew about this yesterday.  It's not a big deal.[/quote]

I disagree.  Kids already have very limited movement breaks during the school day when it's a known fact that being able to MOVE helps learning.  We live in an area with rain, so sometimes they can't do out because of that.  Adding "it's over 90 degrees" to the list limits the number of days student get to move their bodies while learning.  I have 2 incredibly active elementary kids.  We do walk to school, and they'll go outside later when they get home.  But that is not a replacement for moving their bodies as a break from learning.

Is this the largest issue facing APS?  No.  But it's an example of how bad policies are written.  "Oh there's a weather alert, keep kids inside to protect their health" can actually be damaging their health.  So it should be discussed.[/quote]

It’s one day. No additional days over the next two weeks forecast to be that hot and more than likely the last day of 2024 with a heat advisory. [/quote]
