Count Your Kid In
It's not too early to think about our preschool classes that will begin August 2012. USD 261 provides a monthly Count Your Kid In screening for children at least 3 years of age. If your child is 3 or 4 years old and you would like to have his/her motor, language and cognitive skills screened, please call the Early Childhood Office at 554-2233 to make an appointment. Your child must participate in a CYKI screening to be added to the Pre-K waiting list for the fall classes. The next screening day is February 1.
What is Wind Chill Temperature?
It is the temperature it "feels like" outside and is based on the rate of heat
loss from exposed skin caused by the effects of wind and cold. As the wind
increases, the body is cooled at a faster rate causing the skin temperature to
drop. Wind Chill does not impact inanimate objects like car radiators and
exposed water pipes, because these objects cannot cool below the actual air
temperature. Read more...
