In the Carroll County School District, we want to embrace Monday’s solar eclipse as a learning opportunity for our students. However, we understand that there are safety concerns, so we have taken steps to ensure that our students can view the eclipse under our supervision and with proper safety equipment:

• We have secured eclipse glasses for all of our students from a NASA-approved vendor.
• We have extended the school day on Monday by 30 minutes.
• For students to view the eclipse, their parents or guardians must sign and return a permission form before the eclipse begins.
• We respect the right of parents and guardians to prevent their children from directly viewing the eclipse. However, for students who must remain indoors during the eclipse, we will be streaming the eclipse live so that they can view it via our projection equipment.

We expect that our students will have a safe and memorable learning experience during the solar eclipse on Monday, August 21.
