The partial solar eclipse will be observed between 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. on August 21, 2017, in Chula Vista.
Please help us communicate the message that it is just as dangerous to look at the sun during the eclipse as it is every other day. Individuals should not look directly at the sun at any time. We will be reviewing this message with students on and before the day of the eclipse. We will be watching the eclipse safely from NASA websites.
Our recess will operate on a regular schedule on the day of the eclipse. Recess supervision will be instructed to be watching for students who may be purposely looking at the sun and stop such behavior.
“A partial eclipse of the sun will be visible from San Diego County on August 21, 2017
(https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/usa/san-diego) from approximately 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
A total eclipse of the sun will be visible in other parts of the country, which NASA will livestream
on its website.
CVESD is not supporting the use of manufactured eclipse glasses for our students. Sunglasses
will not prevent this type of injury. Only specially manufactured eclipse glasses will do that, and
there are already reports of counterfeit glasses being sold.”
