โ๏ธ ๐ On Monday, April 8, 2024, the Lehigh Valley will witness a solar eclipse. This rare astronomical event will last from approximately 2:08 p.m. to 4:35 p.m., with the maximum eclipse occurring locally around 3:23 p.m. Out of an abundance of caution, the Allentown School District will dismiss all schools early on Monday, April 8, 2024.
- Middle Schools and High Schools will dismiss at 11:30 a.m.
- Elementary Schools will dismiss at 12:30 p.m.
- There will be no PM LCTI and Early College students will return with AM LCTI students
A solar eclipse is an awe-inspiring event where the moon passes between the sun and Earth, casting its shadow over our planet. This presents a unique opportunity for learning and exploration, but it is crucial to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and community members during this time. Our schools have been provided safety guidance, issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, which teachers will share with students.
