Solar Eclipse Today!
A solar eclipse is happening today! It's a rare and exciting astronomical phenomenon, and one that requires important safety reminders.
Looking directly at the sun, even during an eclipse, can permanently damage your eyes. At Bailey’s ES, we have purchased approved eyewear so that students can safely view the eclipse ONLY while wearing the eyewear. We have planned for students and staff to watch the eclipse from 3:00 – 3:30 on the soccer field.
Here are some important reminders:
-
Don't look at the sun without approved eyewear. This applies to students and staff, and we encourage you to reinforce it at home.
-
Regular sunglasses are not good enough. We will be providing eyewear that has been approved for viewing.
-
Eclipse timing: The eclipse starts around 2:04 p.m., peaks at 3:20 p.m. (which coincides with dismissal for some students), and ends around 4:32 p.m. If you have concerns about your child walking or riding the bus home, please arrange for alternative transportation.
