You CANNOT catch a cold from the cold (http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20306931,00.html), but it is a good idea to dress appropriately for the weather!
Some dangers from the cold:

Now that doesn't mean we will never go outside! If the temperature is below zero wind chill, there will be indoor recess. Students will be ushered in before school if the wind chill is below zero. Keep in mind the office staff, who would be making this call, is quite busy in the morning, so if it's -1, there probably won't be a problem with students waiting outside if students come when they are supposed to and are dressed appropriately.
Students are allowed in at 8:25. The closer student come to that time, the better, especially on cold days!! There is usually no supervision before 8:15-8:20ish.
Well, I'm off to shovel some snow! Have a great evening!
