Solar Eclipse | GCPS Will Delay Dismissal by 1 Hour
Here in Gwinnett, we will experience a near-total eclipse between 2:35 and 2:40 p.m. that will last approximately two minutes. This alignment of the sun, the moon, and Earth will mark the first time this phenomenon has occurred coast-to-coast in our country in nearly 100 years.
Gwinnett County Public Schools is planning to make this day a special educational event for our students by organizing a safe and engaging viewing experience. Instructional activities may include viewing the solar eclipse using solar shades, learning how to safely view it using a reflective surface, watching the eclipse via live-streaming on the web, and much more. Safety is always a top priority and we will take all precautionary measures to make this exciting experience both safe and enjoyable. While schools plan to provide an opportunity for a safe, educational experience, we understand that some parents may not want their children to participate in a live viewing of the eclipse. In order for your student to participate in an outdoor viewing of the solar eclipse, please see your teachers' individual eCLASS page to download the grade level specific permission slip.
After viewing the eclipse students will participate in classroom activities related to the phenomenon of the eclipse. Please make sure you sign and return the eclipse viewing permission slip by Thursday, August 17th to ensure your student is allowed to participate.
Students who do not return this form signed by a parent/guardian will complete an alternate activity from inside the school building during the eclipse.
We respectfully request that any parents wanting to check their students out on August 21 do so before 1:45 PM or after 3:15 PM.
