We'll be building in extra water breaks, encouraging everyone to stay hydrated, and adapting activities where needed to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Breaks will be inside or in the shade.

If your child is feeling unwell due to the heat, please let us know and keep them at home if necessary. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe.
