Kids getting out early due to heat

I know what you mean. I went for a meet & greet today at my youngest school, and it was HOT in there. I was sweating like a pig in 10 minutes. I hope they have air or fans or something for tomorrow when the little ones go back to school.

I just checked the weather for Friday,(my 5 year olds first day of school) and it is going to be sunny with the high of 96. He is morning kindergarten, so maybe it won't affect him so much, but I wonder, will he want to eat lunch or go swimming when he gets home?

We have a hot weather policy at our school though now all the rooms have AC anyway so the school is probably the coolest place for them so I usually send my kids. Though when the temp hits the 40+C range for a few days in a row then they can sometimes stay home - at that point everyone's brain is just mush anyway so it's not like they'd learn anything :-)

In Phoenix all the schools are air conditioned, I think. But to expect fried brains to think is not logical. They can't.

That is insane. My oldest is just entering Kindergarden this year and today was the Kindergarden orientation. So it was just that grade level there today and just with that amount the place was baking from the heat from outside and body heat. They do not have central air there or air conditioners for the children. Luckily here in PA, there will just be a little bit of time in the beginning and end of the school year where this will pose a problem. But heat makes it hard to concentrate so all schools should be made to have air of some sort.
