Dear Parents/Guardians:
On Monday, April 8, 2024 there will be a rare solar eclipse occurring during school hours. Berwick Area School District regular dismissal times occur during the peak time of the solar eclipse. To ensure the safety of our students and take advantage of this unique opportunity the Berwick Area School District will be dismissing students early.
Our secondary students will be dismissed at 12:15 pm followed by our elementary students at 1:00 pm. This will ensure students have arrived safely home prior to the beginning of the eclipse.
Sporting events that may be impacted are being coordinated with the competing districts. Any schedule changes will be communicated with the families.
For more information, including safety recommendation about the eclipse, check out NASA’s website: https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/
