Skating at Riley: Parents Must Send Helmets if They Want Their Children to Wear Them

It's not our dream snowy winter.. but it IS good for ICE. (Please be careful when walking on our campus!) When we return from break we may still have some good pond skating days. Children are encouraged to bring skates and a helmet (if desired) at the start of each week in order to be able to enjoy the long standing Riley tradition of skating on our little pond (and sometimes across the meadows even!). You, too, are welcome to join us for a winter spin on our wee pond! It has always been a popular activity.

Skating may happen at any time throughout the week or even day! We are encouraging you to send a helmet. If you do not send a helmet please understand that you are by implication and default giving us and your child permission to engage in this winter pleasure without a helmet. 

We have many skates of all sizes to borrow. We require the children to wear a heavy hat and gloves to protect them - but we do not have helmets to borrow. IF your child must wear a helmet, you must send one in. 

While it has always been Becky’s, and Riley rule that we have them, current research indicates that they do not guarantee protection against a concussion or injury. Our pond skating is pretty leisurely and limited in scope and ability to pick up speed! It is NOT hockey nor at the speeds they can experience at MRC for example ( where our policy has been to wear one). The MRC rink does not enforce wearing them for public skate.
