Accidents happen! Make sure ​your students​ have an extra set of clothes with​ them each day. ​ This ​simple precaution gives them a backup ​i​n case of muddy adventures, ​soggy snow play, ​unexpected spills or ​any other messy situations that can happen throughout the day. ​Having ​a change of clothes​ on hand will help them to avoid ​discomfort or embarrassment​, or even a call to you.
