Heat Safety at SGBS

With the summer season approaching, we may experience days with extremely hot weather.  To maintain a healthy and safe learning and working environment during these conditions, we would like to review the procedures below: 

  • Students must monitor their level of activity and take water breaks to remain adequately hydrated, especially during the lunch hour- students can bring water bottles during the lunch hour 
  • Personal water bottles will be allowed at student desks on days of elevated temperatures 
  • Students are encouraged to wear lightweight and light-coloured clothing as well as other hot weather necessities such as hats, sun visors, sunscreen, etc
  • The Principal may modify recess routines depending on local conditions
