With the likelihood of extremely cold weather later this week and early next week, this is a reminder of Colstrip Public Schools' winter dress code policy for bus riders.
"...during winter months it is essential that each student be prepared for the possibility of a bus becoming non operational and/or a rapid change in weather conditions.
Therefore, in addition to their regular all-day clothing, students should have in their possession:
1. a heavy, warm coat
2. warm clothes
****Recommendation: Synthetic fiber-filled coats and pants are highly recommended as they retain body heat and repel outside air even when wet. Caps should be capable of being pulled down over the forehead and ears."
Please be sure students are prepared for the cold weather and dressed appropriately, as well as prepared in the event a bus should become stranded.
Thank you and keep safe and warm!
