Bernie School District to View Solar Eclipse on Monday
Bernie, Missouri - In preparation for the solar eclipse, the Bernie School district purchased 600 NASA approved solar glasses to distribute to all teachers, students, and staff on Monday, August 21.

"We will again review all safety precautions Monday, and our teachers will be using this as an educational opportunity with lessons full of statistical fun facts about a total solar eclipse," commented Dustin Hicks, Bernie Superintendent.

Elementary students will be viewing the eclipse from their grade level playground.

Jr. High/High School students will be viewing in the parking lot south of the baseball field.

Pre-school, kindergarten, and students without a signed permission form will view the eclipse televised on the projector from their classrooms.

Students will walk from their respective buildings at 12:45 pm and arrive at their viewing location at 1:00 PM to view the remaining 20 minutes of the solar eclipse.

Each 1st -12th grade student that returned a parent signed permission slip will be supervised using their NASA approved sun glasses while viewing the eclipse.

Once the eclipse is over the students will return to their buildings for the remainder of the school day.

"Please make sure your student returns the permission form if you wish for them to participate," stated Hicks.
