We are excited for the solar eclipse on August 21, 2017!  This event is a great learning opportunity for our students.  All USD 230 schools will provide solar eclipse glasses for each student and educational activities surrounding this event.  If you choose to experience the solar eclipse as a family your student can be excused by following your school’s absence procedure.  This will be treated as any other absence, and students will not be eligible for perfect attendance.

Here are some great references for discussion with your child(ren):
