**************************************Teachers – Please READ**************************
Monday morning, you will receive the solar glasses for you and your students. Students will bring their classroom chairs outside to sit on during the Eclipse. The District was very specific about directions for viewing, which I have listed below. I would recommend, especially with our youngest students, practicing these today or first thing Monday morning. We will begin calling classes outside at approximately 2:00 p.m. – perhaps a little earlier depending on the Eclipse.
1) EVERY child must have a pair of solar glasses in his/her hand as they exit the building.
As we prepare our students to experience the solar eclipse, please ensure glasses are secured for viewing (examples: tape, small binder clips, or other fasteners) for K-2 students. For safety, it is imperative that solar glasses remain on for all participants during the entire viewing of the solar eclipse
2) EVERY teacher is REQUIRED to escort their students outside and CAREFULLY monitor. Paras must assist with this.
-Kindergarten through 2nd grade will sit in rows on sidewalk across from parking lot leading to apartments in the front of the school.
-3rd through 5th grades will sit in rows on map near playgroup in rear of school.
-Students should face towards the sun.
3) Children ARE NOT allowed to look up in the sky until they are seated in the field with their glasses on.
4) Students ARE NOT allowed to take their glasses off until we go inside.
I would like all available staff members to assist with our younger students. Please report to their classrooms at 1:45 p.m.
Any Specials after 1:30 on Monday will be canceled. NO OUTDOOR RECESS will be allowed after 12:00 p.m. Any scheduled for after 12:00 p.m. should plan for indoor recess.
Thank you so much and enjoy this amazing experience!
