School for Sweetwater School District Number One students begins on Monday August 21, 2017, and the district is prepared and planning on activities for the rare solar eclipse. The District will be providing proper eye wear for staff and student safety.
Although Rock Springs is not directly in the path for 100% totality of the solar eclipse, we are located where a partial eclipse with 96% totality can be viewed and the moon will cover most of the sun.
The solar eclipse will begin at 10:17 a.m., maximum coverage will occur at 11:38 a.m., and will end at 1:04 p.m.
District One states this will be a spectacular experience and learning opportunity for the students.
Information will be coming from each child’s school with details as the start of school nears. Sweetwater School District Number One is looking forward to experiencing this event with students and optimizing on the learning opportunity available.
