Dear Cowern Families
& Friends,
The weather is quickly
changing to spring. Tem-
peratures can switch from
70 degrees one day to 40
degrees the next. With
spring break over, it is
always a good opportunity
to remind families of our
overall school dress code.
We plan to have students
go outside for recess as
much as possible since
it’s important for them to
get fresh air and burn off
some of their energy.
Please remember to send
a jacket and boots as
needed. It may not be
snowing, but the ground
is still wet and muddy.
Sometimes it may get
chilly for students as they
are outside for 15 minutes
without warm cover.
In the spring, we also
want to remind students
that it is important for our
attire to remain school
appropriate. While shorts
are okay, shirts and tops
with spaghetti straps or
thin bands need to be cov-
ered with a shirt, sweater,
or hoodie. Students need
tennis shoes for recess
and P.E.
I appreciate your efforts
in helping us maintain
these dress code standards
at Cowern.
Sincerely,
Dr. Gena Abrahamson
