2024 Solar Eclipse
The Conroe ISD Science Department would like our students and the entire District community to safely enjoy the Solar Eclipse on Monday, April 8th.
Our teachers have been provided handheld solar eclipse viewers to safely observe the eclipse. Each grade has a plan to closely supervise during the outdoor viewing activities to prevent students from accidentally looking at the sun without proper eye protection.
We have been provided resources to take advantage of this special opportunity and are looking forward to experiencing this special day with our students.
The eclipse will last from 12:41 p.m. to 3 p.m., and the Conroe area will experience a deep partial eclipse (close to 96%). The most spectacular time of the day will be from 1:30 to 1:50 p.m., reaching mid-eclipse at 1:40 p.m.
Art
Families and friends!
Our artists are hard at work at making their paper mâché ice cream, donuts, blasts, cupcakes and Starbucks! But we are still in need of a few items for next week! Please help us if you can!
Click here for the link to my Amazon wish list to make these creations come true.
Thank you so much for always supporting art class! Your kids are doing great things in ART!
