Outside recess

Attention

Beginning Thursday, October 15, the entrance to the south parking lot at the high school from the west (Raider Drive) will be closed off due to underground sanitary/storm sewer work. The south parking lot and Memorial Field can be accessed from the Division Street entrance during that time. Access is anticipated to be restored at the end of the day on Friday, October 16. Follow the Reimagine Northfield High School project, and view regular construction updates here.

Fresh air and exercise are very important. If a child has a cold or other illness or injury and the parent/guardian wants them to stay in during recess one day, the parent/caregiver needs to send a signed note requesting that and stating the reason. If a parent/caregiver feels the condition will require two or more days inside during recess, they must obtain and send a note from a doctor stating the reason and length. Students are outside when the temperature is at or above 0 degrees. If the temperature is lower than -10 degrees wind chill they will be inside.
