April 8, 2024 Professional Activity (PA) Day Reminder and Solar Eclipse Resources
Dear
Parents, Guardians and NPSC Community Members,
As you are aware, in
February we announced that the Professional Activity Day in late April was
rescheduled to Monday, April 8, 2024, as a result of the Solar Eclipse. We
would like to remind our community that Friday, April 26 will be a regular
school day.
In
anticipation of the Solar Eclipse on April 8, the Nipissing-Parry Sound
Catholic District School Board would like to share with our parents, family and
staff some valuable resources to support learning and safe viewing of this
historic and rare celestial occurrence. This solar
event will occur over the region between approximately 2:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.
affecting daylight during this time.
As looking
directly at the sun without protection during a solar eclipse can cause damage
to eyesight and to promote safe viewing during this event, we are pleased to
share the following educational resources for
parents, students and our community:
We extend
appreciation to you for your ongoing support and wish all of our community a
safe Professional Activity Day on April 8, 2024.
Should you
have any questions, kindly contact your School Principal.
Sincerely,
Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic
District School Board
