Pirate Families:
On Monday, April 8, a solar eclipse will cross over the United States. Although we are not in the path of totality, we will be able to view a 94% eclipse at approximately 2 p.m. This is a rare occasion and we want our students to be able to experience it. Our teachers will also be planning activities to align with the event and grade level learning standards.
To take advantage of watching the eclipse, students will be issued protective eye glasses prior to going outside. These eyeglasses have been purchased by our Parent Teacher Organization, and have been certified as safe by the American Astronomical Society and NASA.
If you DO NOT want your student to participate in the viewing, please contact us by calling or emailing the contact below by 9 a.m. on Monday, April 8.
Thank you,
