Reminder: A solar eclipse will be visible in the afternoon on Monday, April 8. While Ellenville is not on the path of the total solar eclipse, we will experience a partial solar eclipse at a time that overlaps with the regular dismissal times for our buildings. As a result, we will have an early dismissal for students. Dismissal times will be as follows: Jr/Sr High School - 11:15 AM and Elementary School - 12:15 PM.
The District will be distributing specialized eye protection for all students to take home with them on April 8 so that under adult supervision, they can safely view the eclipse. More information about the eclipse may be found here: www.nysed.gov/curriculum-instruction/new-york-state-total-solar-eclipse-april-2024
