Homestead Principal Updates
March 24, 2024
Homestead families,
Mustang Family and Friends!
Thank you for coming out and supporting the school at our ANNUAL FAMILY NIGHT AND SILENT AUCTION! I appreciate all of our parent volunteers for putting together such a great event.
On Monday, April 8, Dallas will be the largest city in the path of totality for the once-in-a-lifetime Great North American Eclipse. We are excited to share this milestone with your students, and want to make sure they are able to experience the eclipse in a safe manner. Please keep reading for Lewisville ISD’s plans by grade level:
Grades K-2
It is not recommended that our youngest students view the eclipse outside. Instead, K-2 students will have the opportunity to watch NASA's live stream of the eclipse. We encourage you to view NASA’s other online resources to explain this event to your student.
Grades 3-5
Students in grades 3-5 will have the opportunity to go outside to view the eclipse in the early afternoon on April 8. The Perot Museum has generously donated protective eyewear for each student to wear, and our campus staff will monitor students to ensure the eyewear is on correctly before inviting students outside. The eyewear provided from the Perot Museum is thousands of times darker than standard sunglasses to protect students from the concentrated solar rays.

If you do not wish for your student to view the eclipse, please fill out this google form. Students who do not go outside will be able to watch NASA’s live stream of the event.https://forms.gle/WM4XrZ72xFMbtqsa6
Many of our staff members have already incorporated this event into their lesson plans to enhance the educational experience for all students. We are excited for our students to experience this once-in-a-lifetime event, and witness science in action! As always, parents are the ultimate decision-makers on whether or not their students will attend school. If you choose to keep your student home to view the eclipse, please notify our school as you would for any absence. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
Mr. Perry
