Working together with families in a partnership of teachers, staff and community members to provide an individualized learning environment that fosters high achievement in core and elective areas; preparing students for life-long success.
Solar Eclipse Viewing Safety
A partial solar eclipse will occur on August 21, between 8:21 and 10:13 am. As viewed from Alaska, about half the sun will be covered at the eclipse maximum. It is not safe to look directly at the sun to view the eclipse. To view the eclipse safely, use pinhole projection: with your back to the sun, focus the sun's rays through a pinhole punched in a paper, onto another paper or flat surface. A pinhole camera can also be created with one's own fingers by interlocking them into a mesh pattern and focusing the sun's rays through the gaps between fingers. For further details on how to safely view the eclipse, see this fact sheet from NASA.
STUDENT SAFETY
We highly encourage you have conversations with your students regarding their personal safety in all types of situations. Below are a few resources that might help guide conversations about digital citizenship, internet, and social media safety.
