Wind Chill Procedure – Outside PE and Recess

Wind Chill will be checked 1 hour before the start of school by the Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Principal, and/or School Administrator(s).

The Accuweather.com website will be utilized to determine the actual and RealFeel temperatures. Once a person is on the accuweather.com website, they will put in the zip code for the location of the school and the website will give them the air temperature as well as the RealFeel temperature (wind chill).

If the RealFeel temperature (wind chill) is 10 degrees or below, the School Official must recheck the RealFeel (wind chill) during the course of the school day. If the RealFeel (wind chill) temperature is -11 degrees (Fahrenheit) or lower, school may be cancelled and all activities may be suspended.
