The next solar eclipse will occur on Monday, April 8 when students will be in school, preparing to leave school, or traveling home. Although we will not experience a total solar eclipse, we will experience a partial eclipse.
All students and staff will receive certified solar-viewing glasses to protect their eyes.
The National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) has a variety of free resources about safety considerations for the eclipse. NOTE: Regular sunglasses, swimming goggles, and other eyewear are NOT safe for looking directly at the sun.
The eclipse will occur in Halifax County from 1:59 p.m. to 4:29 p.m. with maximum view at 3:16 p.m.: https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/where-when/
