SOLAR ECLIPSE
Please read below on Mr. McBride’s Blog about our plan at Jackson for the Eclipse.
If your child will be at school, but you DO NOT want them to go outside to view the Eclipse, you need to fill out this OPT OUT FORM. Students whose parents opt out will view a live video stream of the Eclipse inside the building with another teacher. The office will notify us if your child is opting out.
Dismissal will be DELAYED 30 minutes on Monday afternoon. So, instead of dismissing at 2:30, we will dismiss at 3:00. If you plan to check out your child early to experience the Eclipse with them, please check them out by 1:00. Thank you.
