In consultation with our STEM Coordinator, Science Teachers, Transportation, and Public Safety offices, the administration determined that it was in the best interest of the safety of our students to call an Early Release Day for Monday, April 8, 2024, due to the solar eclipse. We did discuss the pros and cons of no school but felt this was not in the best interest of our students. This will also allow all students to observe the eclipse and not be in transit home. Each school has developed educational units around the eclipse and will pass out special glasses for students to wear during the event. It is important to remind your students they must use these glasses when looking at the eclipse.
Early Release times are as follows:
Westminster Center School: 11:45 AM
Central Elementary School: 11:30AM
Grafton Elementary School: 11:30AM
Saxtons River Elementary School: 11:45AM
Bellows Falls Union High School: 11:20AM
Bellows Falls Middle School: 11:30AM
