HARDWICK — On Monday, April 8, a total solar eclipse will pass over North America. In northern Vermont, we will have the opportunity to witness this amazing event. Due to the timing, intensity, and projections of eclipse viewers arriving in our state that day, April 8 will be an early release day.
Students will be sent home with special solar viewing glasses.
During totality, the sky will become dark and appear similar to dawn or dusk. It will be extra apparent if there is no cloud cover. During the partial eclipse period, no one should look at the sun unless wearing special glasses.
All of our schools will be educating students on this event and many special events are being planned around the region.
