Solar Eclipse Watch Party at NHS
We are planning a Solar Eclipse Watch Party on the Soccer field at NHS after school on April 8th. Parents can sign their child up to attend the Watch Party by noting it in Pick Up Patrol by April 4th.
Parents are invited to attend. We have eclipse glasses for each student and a guest. Please note on Pick Up Patrol if you plan to attend with your child.
We will provide a light snack for all students to eat outside on the field. Students should bring a towel to sit on. Each grade level will have a marked area on the field. We expect students who attend to sit with their grade level and keep their eclipse glasses on during the eclipse.
The adults at each grade level will take attendance and note if a parent is present. If the parent is present, we will consider them dismissed to the parent at that time. Students who attend without a parent will be dismissed in the car line area at 3:45 PM promptly.
Students who are dismissed to the Rec. Dept. after school care will have the chance to see the eclipse with Mr. Manzi and the group.
If your child needs bus transportation, they should take the bus at the regular dismissal time.
Preschoolers are dismissed at 2:30 PM. Preschool parents who wish to bring their children back are welcome to sit with the kindergarten group.
Times:
2:45: Students and staff attending the Watch Party will go out to the soccer field and stay in their grade level area.
2:50: Regular dismissal for students who are going home at the regular dismissal time.
2:55: Snack-Sun chips, apple, water
3:45: Pick up in Car line for students who attended the Watch Party
Important Note: If the weather is rainy or the eclipse will not be visible due to heavy cloud cover, we will cancel the party. We will make that decision by 1:00 PM on April 8th.
