Due to the common occurrence of wildfires in the Northern California region, we will be implementing our AQI protocols. The data in which we will use to implement our protocol comes from the website PurpleAir.com as it displays a more accurate and current air quality readings for our area.
The primary colors you should be aware of when the air quality starts to become hazardous are:
Orange (Unhealthy for sensitive groups) – With an air quality index between 101-150
Red (Unhealthy) – With an air quality index between 151-200
Orange Protocol - It’s OK to be active outside, especially for SHORT ACTIVITIES such as recess and physical education (PE). For LONGER ACTIVITIES such as athletic practice, take more breaks and do less intense activities.
Red Protocol - All outdoor programs, practices, and/or games will be cancelled when air quality reaches 150.
