Solar Eclipse 

The following information was provided to families in the CBE Connections News Link yesterday to parents.  We also wanted to follow-up to ensure the safety and well-being of Falconridge children during the Solar Eclipse and to ensure families are aware of the precautions we will be taking as a school community. 

The solar event will begin just before noon and conclude by 2:00 p.m., with the maximum coverage occurring at 12:43 p.m. We know that this provides a unique learning experience for students and staff in our schools; however, there can be serious impacts to vision as a result of viewing the eclipse in an unsafe manner.  

During this partial solar eclipse on Monday, we would like to invite all students to remain at school during the lunch break. Please send a lunch with your child. If students are not participating in educational activities around the event, schools may choose to have students will be involved in supervised indoor activities.    

If you decide that your child will walk home for lunch on Monday, please discuss with your child not to look at the sun to protect his/her eyes from damage by the solar eclipse.  During a solar eclipse, looking directly at the sun is dangerous. Safe viewing of the eclipse requires wearing specialized glasses or watching through a telescope or solar binoculars that have specialized lenses and should only be performed under the direction of a professional.   

For more safety information can be found on the NASA website or from the Canadian Association of Optometrists.   

Next Year Planning  

We are already planning for September 2024.  If you are planning on moving and your child(ren) will not be attending Falconridge School next school year, please let us know.    

Kindergarten Registration  

If you have a child who will be entering into Kindergarten in September 2024, we encourage you to register them.  This allows us to better plan and organize as a school community for the new school year and connect with you around things like our Kindergarten Open House in the Spring.  Kindergarten registration for the 2024-2025 school year begins on January 15th.
