On April 8, 2024 the continental United States will experience a visible total eclipse for the 2nd time in over 100 years. Sixty-five to ninety (65% - 90%) percent of the sun will be covered by the moon. This is a historic event and one that we want our students to take part in. Safety is always our top priority and we will take all the precautionary means with our staff and students to have a safe and enjoyable experience.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has stated that homemade filters and sunglasses are not for looking at the sun. https://science.nasa.gov/eclipse/safety
We will instruct students to not look at the un-eclipsed or partially eclipsed sun without eclipse-safe glasses. Due to the safety concerns we are requesting permission from parents in order for students to participate in the event using the eclipse glasses which will be provided by Stewart County Schools. Staff members will encourage students to wear the solar glasses once schools are dismissed since most students are likely to look at the eclipse.
