MCPS called it for all schools because of the wind chill, not the actual temperature.

It was a miserable day for this kindergarten teacher but the wind was no joke. Even dismissal for walkers was rough.

Not true. I’ll gladly stand outside in 35 degree weather rather than do indoor recess!! Many of my fellow paras agree.

Until they turn to kidcicles.

Indoor recess at the ES where I work because of the wind chill.

Today it was 42 and my kid had indoor recess. Ridiculous. If it’s above freezing (or even a little below) they should be outside.

At what temperature range does your school allow children to go outside.
