OCE Families,

We had another great week here at Olive Chapel. It’s hard to believe, but we just started our final quarter of the year! This year is flying by! A few important updates are provided below. 
 

Partial Eclipse on April 8
On Monday, April 8th, the partial eclipse will begin around 1:58 PM and peak at approximately 3:15 PM when the moon obscures about 82% of the sun. When watching a partial eclipse, students and staff must wear ISO-certified eclipse glasses at all times while facing the sun. There will be no outdoor recess after 1:50 PM. Since ISO eclipse glasses must be worn, teachers will decide whether their class will go outside or watch the live NASA eclipse broadcast. They will be in contact with families if they plan to view the eclipse outdoors and how to opt out of viewing the eclipse.

Field Day on April 17th (tks 1 & 3) & April 24th (tks 2 & 4):
Field Day is rapidly approaching in April and we need parent volunteers!  Please consider volunteering here.
