Hello Allen Families and Staff,
As you may be aware, on Monday, April 8, 2024, an extraordinary celestial event will occur in North America as a solar eclipse will cast its shadow across the continent. While San Diego County will experience a partial eclipse rather than a total one, the event is nonetheless significant. The San Diego region is expected to witness a partial eclipse that will begin around 10 a.m., peak at 11:11 a.m., and end at 12:23 p.m.
To ensure the safety and well-being of all our students and staff during this event, the Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD) has implemented a rainy day schedule for all schools on April 8. This means that recess and lunch activities will be conducted indoors. Parental permission is required for classrooms intending to incorporate eclipse viewing into their curriculum, and adherence to NASA’s safety standards regarding appropriate viewing gear is mandatory.
Allen Elementary will send home permission slips for students whose classrooms plan to engage in educational activities centered around the eclipse. These slips are available in English and Spanish here:
Please return the permission slip to your child’s classroom teacher on Monday morning.
If you have any additional questions, please let our school team know by calling (619) 479-3662 or communicating with your child’s teacher. You can also learn more about what CVESD is doing and safety tips by visiting www.cvesd.org.
