​​​​​​​​​​​​星期一，4月8日，卡尔加里将能看到部分日食。太阳事件将在正午前开始，并在下午2点前结束，最大覆盖面积将在下午12:43达到。

我们知道这为我们学校的学生和教职员工提供了独特的学习体验；但是，如果以不安全的方式观看日食，视力可能会受到严重影响。

在本周一的部分日食期间，我们希望邀请所有学生在午餐休息时间留在学校。请给您的孩子准备午餐。如果学生没有参与围绕这一事件的教育活动，学校可能会选择让学生参与受监督的室内活动。 

如果您决定让您的孩子在周一中午回家吃午饭，请与您的孩子商量，告诉他/她不要直接看太阳，以保护眼睛免受日食的伤害。

在日食期间，直接注视太阳是危险的。安全观看日食需要戴专门的眼镜，或通过望远镜或带有专门镜片的太阳望远镜观看，并且应仅在专业人员的指导下进行。

更多安全信息可在NASA 网站或 加拿大视光学协会中找到。

如果您有更多问题，请联系您的学校办公室。

​​​​​​​​​​​​On Monday, April 8 a partial solar eclipse will be visible in Calgary. The solar event will begin just before noon and conclude by 2 PM, with the maximum coverage occurring at 12:43 PM.

We know that this provides a unique learning experience for students and staff in our schools; however, there can be serious impacts to vision as a result of viewing the eclipse in an unsafe manner. 

During this partial solar eclipse on Monday, we would like to invite all students to remain at school during the lunch break. Please send a lunch with your child. If students are not participating in educational activities around the event, schools may choose to have students will be involved in supervised indoor activities.   

If you decide that your child will walk home for lunch on Monday, please discuss with your child not to look at the sun to protect his/her eyes from damage by the solar eclipse.  

During a solar eclipse, looking directly at the sun is dangerous. Safe viewing of the eclipse requires wearing specialized glasses or watching through a telescope or solar binoculars that have specialized lenses and should only be performed under the direction of a professional.  

For more safety information can be found on the NASA website or from the Canadi​an Association of Optometrists.  

If you have further questions, please contact your school office. ​
