TRANSPARENCY TUESDAY | RCS EDUCATION MATTERS

RCS uses Child Care Weather Watch to guide decisions about recess, PE, field trips, and other outdoor student activities. Using National Weather Service heat-index and wind-chill information, the guidance classifies weather conditions as green, yellow, or red.

🟢 GREEN. Proceed normally. Monitor students and use normal precautions such as water, appropriate clothing, sunscreen, and shade.

🟡 YELLOW. Use caution. Closely monitor students, take appropriate precautions, and shorten outdoor activities.

🔴 RED. Move most activities indoors. Most students should not participate outdoors because of increased health risk. Any outdoor time for older students should be brief and carefully supervised.

Age matters, too. Younger children may not recognize or communicate that they are becoming too hot or cold, so additional precautions are appropriate. And there isn’t one thermometer reading that determines every decision. Weather conditions, age, exposure time, hydration, clothing, shade, and other precautions all matter.

Our goal is simple: to make consistent, practical decisions about outdoor student activities with student health and safety at the center.

Myth Buster Monday | RCS Education Matters

Extreme weather guidelines aren’t just for student-athletes.

At RCS, weather safety applies anytime students are outdoors — including recess, PE, field trips, school activities, and athletics.

Schools consider the heat index during hot weather and wind chill during cold weather, along with students’ ages and the type of activity, to determine when outdoor activities should be limited or moved indoors.

From the playground to the athletic field, student safety always comes first.
