Interestingly, the protocols around blue dot days were removed some time ago and replaced with a more flexible option for schools to follow. Moving forward, all students in CJP will be expected to arrive at the school prepared for the weather (snow, rain, cold). We will continue to use –20C as our anticipated cut off for prolonged outdoor activities. There are a few updates and tweeks to this plan. 1.

Patrollers, who stand fairly still at their posts will not be outside if the weather is colder than –20C. Rather, on these...
