Eclipse information: On Monday, April 8, we have the exciting opportunity to witness the rare event of a solar eclipse! The eclipse will occur from approximately 2 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. with the maximum coverage in this area occurring around 3:20 p.m. 

With safety in mind, it is our intention to help our Lower School students explore and experience this important event.

• Glasses have been purchased for every student so that they can view the eclipse safely. 

• Prior to the event, teachers are spending time reviewing the critical importance of wearing our eclipse glasses while looking at the sun. We suggest that girls do not look directly at the sun even with the glasses on - they should glance up then look down and follow this process while viewing the eclipse. Please reiterate this message at home and remind your children that directly viewing the sun without protective glasses can cause significant harm to eyes.

• Dismissal will be indoors and proceed as usual with carpool beginning at 3:00 p.m. for EL-Grade 1 and 3:30 p.m. for Grades 2-4

• We understand that many of you may want to view this event with your children. Should you choose to pick up your child early, please make sure to notify lsattendance@st.catherines.org well in advance of dismissal time to help us get the children safely dismissed.

  We are very excited for this historic event and look forward to sharing it with your children!
