On Monday, Aug. 21st, MTCS will be in school.
We do plan to watch the Solar Eclipse. All students will have glasses that are provided by school. As an extra precaution, we will also wear a paper plate face mask to help reassure that the students will not be allowed any peeking or extra light around the eye area.
We will gather for an Elementary Chapel in the Miller Gym at 12:30 and then head outside to our designated viewing area.
ALL PARENTS are invited to come and be a part of this historic day. You will NEED to bring your own glasses. We DO NOT have extra.
We are planning to lie on our backs for viewing, so please send a towel or small blanketwith your child tomorrow or Monday.
We have been incorporating discussions/experiments about the Eclipse as a part of our Science Solar System unit of study. We have emphasized the importance of SAFETY procedures and FOLLOWING directions during the Eclipse events.
If you choose to keep your child at home or sign them out early from school, it will be excused.
PLEASE send an email ASAP letting me know if you will be joining us OR if you plan to keep your child out of school on Monday.
This will help is in planning and preparing for the day.
