Hello Thunderbolts!
We would like to provide you with information about the upcoming solar eclipse occurring Monday, April 8, 2024. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scientists predict that our region will experience the eclipse sometime between 2:00pm and 4:30pm on Monday, April 8, 2024. The exact times will vary, depending on location.
Based on the predicted timing of this event, we are not planning to alter our school day schedules.
As you may know, a total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. This exciting scientific and educational event will not occur again for many years.
We all know the intensity of the Sun on any particular day can cause damage to the eyes if you look directly into it. The same is the case during an eclipse; even when the Sun is obscured during the partial phases of a solar eclipse, the remaining crescent Sun is still intense enough to cause harm.
Undoubtedly, the media will intensify over the next few days; therefore we are providing you and your family information and interesting resources available below from NASA.

Thank you very much for your time and attention to this historic event and we appreciate your continued support of our District.
