Eclipse Extravaganza
On Monday, April 8th, much of North America, including southern California, will witness a partial solar eclipse. This is a rare phenomenon, and ASA wants to help your child experience it safely!
ASA staff will be setting up "eclipse centers" at school during the partial eclipse (10:00 AM -12:30 PM). These centers will provide students with special eclipse glasses, allowing them to responsibly and temporarily view the eclipse. Students may visit the centers during recess.
Important Safety Reminder: Looking directly at the sun, even during an eclipse, can be harmful to your eyes. Please remind your child to never look directly at the sun without the provided eclipse glasses.

These extracurricular activities, held after school, offer students a chance to thrive, learn, and grow, while also emphasizing the importance of regular school attendance. Please note that in order to participate in any competition after school students must be present during the regular school day.
