以下信息已发送给修改后的学年日程家长/监护人有关2017年8月21日星期一日食的通知。

在8月21日星期一的上午10点至下午12:30期间，卡尔加里将能够看到部分日食。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；然而，如果以不安全的方式观看日食，可能会对视力造成严重影响。

在这个星期一的部分日食期间，我们邀请所有学生留在学校的室内用餐。请给您的孩子带上午餐。学生将参与由监督人员负责的室内活动，并远离窗户。

如果您决定让您的孩子在星期一午餐时回家步行，请与您的孩子讨论不要直视太阳，以避免被日食对眼睛造成伤害。

在日食期间，直接盯着太阳看是危险的。安全观看日食需要佩戴专业眼镜或通过望远镜或太阳望远镜观看，这些设备都有专门的镜片，并且应在专业人员的指导下进行。

​The following message was sent to parents/guardians of modified school calendars about the solar eclipse on Monday, August 21, 2017.

On Monday, August 21 between the hours of 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., a partial solar eclipse will be visible in Calgary. 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 for an indoor lunch. Please send a lunch with your child. Students will be involved in supervised indoor activities and away from windows to the outside.  

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.
