We are preparing for a very exciting event when we return from Spring Break, Monday, April 8. We have purchased materials that will enable your student to safely view the total solar eclipse, but need your written permission for your student to participate.
Please log onto your District 186 parent account to opt your student in or out of outdoor eclipse viewing activities. If you do not opt your student in, they will not be able to go outside to view the eclipse. You can also sign and return the permission slip that was sent home yesterday. Permission slips need to be returned on the 8th! If you have any questions or concerns, please call the school office.
Please note the partial eclipse begins at 12:45 p.m., reaches its maximum at 2:02, and ends at 3:18 p.m. Students will be dismissed as normal. At this time, the partial eclipse will have reduced to only 20% and the light will be returning to almost normal. If you prefer to pick up your student prior to the eclipse, please let the school office know.
