Heat waves causes disruptions on school schedules

Climate change affects another social behavior, this time its school schedules.  August saw a trend of many school districts closing early or changing school schedules to curtail the heat.  Some schools even canceled recesses to avoid children having to play outdoors due to soaring temperatures.   As the heat goes up we are seeing more and more schools opt to use our shade structures to cover their playgrounds to enable their children to have more outdoor play.  Further, shade structures may have water misters affixed to them which gives the children more relief and more fun in the shade.

To ensure that schools are aware of whta the heat and humidity is outdoors, the National Weather Services issues excessive heat warnings and schools are advised to check out your local temperatures before allowing children to be exposed.  Go to our website www.shade4schools.com to learn how you can protect your children, while affording them that critical exercise time outdoors.
