The US will experience a rare total solar eclipse on August 21st. West Virginia won’t go completely dark, but the eclipse will still cover 90% of the sun. The total solar eclipse will be visible in a 70-mile-wide path that sweeps across the United States, an event that hasn’t happened since 1918. The eclipse begins in West Virginia at 1:08 pm. It will be at 90% by 2:35 pm, and complete at 3:57 pm.
All MCS' students will have “eclipse” glasses with special-purpose solar filters to participate in this spectacular event and each teacher will have the resources they need to engage the students in learning all about the process. August 18th has been declared Solar Eclipse Teaching Day for McDowell County Schools.
Schools will be sending home informational flyers on the first day of school. If you do not wish for your child to participate, please return the school form to opt out of participating.
