• Layer up: Dress your student in layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing. The air between the layers will help keep them insulated.
• Proper Outerwear: Coats with hoods have added warmth.
• Protect their head: Have your student wear a hat to help prevent the loss of body heat through the head.
• Cover their mouth: Shield your student’s lungs from extreme cold by covering their mouth when outdoors.
• Mittens over gloves: Mittens that fit snugly at the wrist help retain warmth better than gloves.
• Stay dry and shielded from wind: Wet clothing and strong winds can increase the risk of frostbite and hypothermia.

If your student needs winter garments, please reach out to our Family and Community Engagement (FACE) team for support.
