There has been a lot of talk and questions about the upcoming solar eclipse, Monday, August 21.
We will have a normal school day on Solar Eclipse Monday. Teachers will be reviewing sun viewing safety with their classes and we ask that you discuss this with your students at home as well.
It is important that all of our students know not to look directly at the sun during this or any time. The visible light during the eclipse still includes damaging UV light and regular sunglasses will not protect their eyes.
Special glasses with the ISO code 12312-2 filter out about a 1000x more radiation and are the only safe way to view the sun. You may wish to send your child with the special glasses if you have purchased them.
Select classes have lesson plans about the sun and moon and are making pinhole viewers to safely view the eclipse; however, students will also be out of class for recess during the eclipse. Please remind your students about the importance of not looking directly at the eclipse. Keeping our Dragons safe is our number one priority and we appreciate your help by discussing this at home. Thank You!
