We use the CalOSHA Heat Index to monitor heat and we follow all guidelines listed on the CalOSHA website for outdoor activities. In addition, we will be using Purple Air to monitor air quality. Please see below for links to both of these resources if you are interested in knowing more or keeping track of conditions in order to plan ahead and be prepared for any changes we may need to make to ensure the safety of our students. The PurpleAir widget to the right contains real-time air quality from a sensor located at Plymouth Elementary School.

We hope this information helps you understand what factors affect our decisions in these summer months as we deal with high heat and wildfires. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to prioritize the safety and health of our students as well as our sports coaches.
