The 2017-2018 School Year will begin on August 21st, the same day as the Solar Eclipse. We are busy planning various activities for our students and staff.
The Eclipse will begin at 10:19 AM with 99% totality at 11:39 AM and the conclusion of the eclipse at 1:03 PM. The (almost) full eclipse will last only about 2 minutes total. Due to not being in the path of totality, it is important that those viewing the eclipse have certified protective glasses to view any part of the event. We have purchased a set of glasses for every student and staff member.
We would love for you to join us for the viewing on the football field at 11:30 AM. If you plan on joining us, please bring your own safety glasses and check in at the office.
If you want more information regarding the eclipse NASA has the best resources. Here is a link to their eclipse page.
Happy viewing!!!
